Description

The former pump house, located approximately 20 meters north-west of the former Baschurch Railway Station, is a disused structure likely built around 1848 as part of the Shrewsbury to Chester Railway. It is constructed from regularly coursed and dressed snecked red sandstone rubble, featuring a moulded ashlar cornice and a pyramidal slate roof topped with a pointed wooden finial. The building has a square plan and is a single storey. On the south-west side, there is a segmental-headed doorway with a boarded door, while the north-east side has a tall round-arched multi-paned cast-iron window. Although the interior was not accessible during the last survey in January 1987, it is reported to contain a cast-iron hand-pump with a well below. The pump house is believed to have been built in connection with the nearby railway but primarily served as a water source for the surrounding fields.
