Workshop and Storehouse at Mill Meece Pumping Station

This workshop and storehouse, built around 1914, was part of the Mill Meece Pumping Station, serving the Staffordshire Potteries Waterworks Company. Designed by William Campbell and constructed by Thomas Godwin and Son, the building's group value lies in its association with the industrial development of the region.

It is a single-storeyed building with a rectangular plan, constructed of Accrington red brick in English bond, with stone dressings and a clay-tiled roof. The design features a chamfered stone plinth, raised quoins, brick cogging, and a hipped roof with exposed rafter ends and a louvered ridge vent. The south-west facing front elevation is symmetrical, with central paired windows flanked by doorways containing panel doors at each end. Paired windows are also present on both returns, with a doorway and panel door on the left-hand return. The six-paned casement windows have chamfered stone lintels, and all window and door openings are round-headed with gauged brick arches and keystones.

Inside, the building is divided into two rooms and retains some original, fixed, wooden shelving. It now contains a collection of machinery acquired from other pumping stations before their demolition.
