Description
The former hydraulic power house, built in the late 19th century, is located on Derby Road. It is constructed of red brick and features a slate roof. The building is a single storey with a central accumulator tower that has three recessed panels, each containing a boarded segmental-headed opening. To the right, there are three windows, while the left side has two windows, one of which is blocked. A ridge ventilator is positioned to the right, and there is a lower range of three windows with a central stack to the left. The right gable end includes a 20th-century door with a roller shutter that cuts through two windows, and the left gable end has three windows. This hydraulic power house, along with its engine rooms and distinctive accumulator tower, was used to provide power for elevators and capstans in the nearby LMS grain store and the extensive Wetmore sidings, where the brewery companies' private networks connected with the main line.
