Description

The waterworks pumping station, now a workshop, was built in 1850 for the Nottingham Waterworks Company. It is designed in the Gothic Revival style, constructed from red brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped concrete tile roof. The building has a chamfered plinth, buttresses, a modillion cornice, and a coped parapet. It stands two storeys tall and consists of one block with three bays.

The main entrance, located on the south side, includes a segmental pointed doorway with late 20th-century doors and a screen, flanked by angle buttresses. Above the entrance is a double lancet window. Each side of the building has a central buttress flanked by double lancet windows, with three single lancets above. The north side features a single lancet and two smaller lancets above.

At the northwest corner, there is a square tower with two stages, which originally had a pyramidal roof. The lower stage displays diaper work and a single lancet, while the upper stage has a single lancet on each side. This pumping station was the first in a series built to extract water from artesian wells to enhance the city's water supply. It operated until 1880, when the Nottingham Corporation took over water services, and it was used as a garage starting in 1930.
