Dogdyke Pumping Station

Dogdyke Pumping Station is a pumping station built in 1855. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof with stone-coped gables. The building is single storey and has a three-bay front. The central section has planked double doors, while to the left there is another planked door set in a recessed semi-circular archway. To the right, there is an open semi-circular archway leading to the pump wheel chamber, which includes wooden sluice gates. Above the central door, there is a large semi-circular headed fixed glazing bar cast iron light, flanked by two smaller semi-circular openings with timber fixed lights. The gable displays a rectangular ashlar datestone with "1855" in raised letters. On the side, there is a cast iron counterbalance regulator, and at the rear, there is a pulley with a chain for a cast iron sluice gate, along with the rear arch and wall of the wheel chamber, which has rounded ashlar coping. The interior retains a single cylinder rotative beam engine that was built to replace an earlier wind pump, which was later replaced by a diesel engine in 1940. This is noted as the only remaining working steam engine in Lincolnshire. The site is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
