Description

Tettenhall Pumping Station is a pump house built in 1845, with later additions from the 19th century, designed by Henry J. Marlen. The building is constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and features a hipped slate roof. It has a T-plan layout and stands four storeys tall. The left side has a two-window range, while the right side has a three-window range that projects.

The structure includes an ashlar base and weathering over the ground floor, with a second-floor impost course above round-headed recesses that have archivolts. The top is adorned with a dentilled cornice and a stone-coped brick parapet. The round-headed windows feature archivolts and small-paned iron glazing, while the third floor has triple bulls' eyes with glazing bars on the central eye.

The projecting wing has a round-headed entrance with an archivolt and a fanlight above a plain door set in a round-headed recess, along with two-window returns. The left return has a tall window on the first and second floors, and the right return facing the street has an entrance with a frieze and cornice above paired half-glazed doors. The rear of the building is similar, with a late 19th-century addition that maintains similar architectural details. This pumping station is an early example of a municipal water works building and is noted for its architectural merit.
