Pumping Station (Thames Water)

The Broxbourne Pumping Station, built in 1887, is a notable structure made of yellow stock and red brick, with gault brick and stone dressings, topped by a slate pyramid roof. The main square block features four pilasters on each side, creating identical bays that include round-headed windows on the ground floor and circular windows on the upper level. These windows are framed with raised brick surrounds, stone key blocks, and iron glazing bars. A stone cornice with paired brackets adorns the top of the building. The eastern elevation has a central doorcase that projects and is topped with a stone pediment. There is a single-storey extension on the north side with seven bays and three round-arched openings on the ground floor. A similar extension on the west side has three bays.
