Description
The boundary wall and gates at Papplewick Pumping Station were built in 1884 by M. O. Tarbotton for the Nottingham Corporation Water Department. The structure is made of brick with a moulded blue brick damp proof course and a rockfaced ashlar plinth. It features a moulded, corbelled top and a ramped flat ashlar coping. The wall has a curved plan with incurves leading to two pairs of gates, extending approximately 220 meters in length.
The south gate is flanked by two moulded square piers with carved ashlar capitals and stepped pyramid caps. The north gate has four similar piers, with the central pair being larger and their capitals carved with birds. These piers also have pyramid caps topped with crocketed finials. The gates consist of a pair of scroll top cast iron gates and matching wicket gates, along with four guard irons. This structure serves as a detached ancillary building of the Papplewick Pumping Station.
