Snarestone Pumping Station

The Snarestone Pumping Station is a late 19th-century building constructed of red brick in English bond, designed in the Gothic style. It features a stone cornice, kneelers, coped gables, drip moulds, label stops, and a brick plinth with a stone top moulding. The roof is slate-covered. The windows are largely characterised by brick lintels with chamfered sides and stone plate tracery.

The building comprises two parallel ranges with gables facing each other, incorporating a tall pump room to the left. The principal entrance is at the left end of the pump room range, accessed by eight stone steps leading to a projecting entrance surround with a sloping stone roof. This surround has a moulded stone door surround featuring pilasters and columns with foliage capitals and a segmental drop arch. The door is two-leaved and partly glazed, with a two-light window positioned above. The sides of the pump room range feature two lancet windows each, with stone internal frames and keystones. The front of the parallel ranges contains a three-light window with a single-light window above to the left, and a door with a two-light window above to the right.

A square chimney base is situated slightly forward of the main structure. A stone broach rises to a roughly 50-foot-high octagonal flue with stone corbelled and embattled top. The right end of the pumping station mirrors the left with similar doors and windows. The rear elevation contains two double doors with segmental arches, each with a two-light window above.

Inside, the parallel ranges have iron frame roofs, while the pump room boasts a beamed ceiling, two iron columns, iron balustrading, a three-arch screen, and visible pistons and wheels.
