Former Pumping Station

The former water pumping station, now known as Benfleet Christian Fellowship Hall, was built in the 19th century. It features red brick construction with a double range grey slate roof, stone parapet verges, an impost level band, and plinth coping. The building is single storey and has a central forward gable with a round-headed doorway that includes a keystone and double doors, along with a fanlight featuring glazing bars. On either side of the doorway are iron double windows, each with round heads, red brick arches, stone imposts, and stone cills. The stone and brick bands and plinths continue around to the rear. A stone plaque on the gable is now covered by creeper. Each return has one similar window and roundels with glazing bars at the apex of each gable. The rear has two similar windows to the south and a similar door to the north, with details matching those at the front.

Inside, the front and rear walls each have four cast iron support columns, with three central columns that have octagonal lower stems, circular upper stems, and fluted capitals. The ceiling features metal roof trusses and is ribbed and boarded. There is a moulded dado band, along with moulded door and window surrounds, and a moulded cornice.
