Broadmeads Pumping Station And Chimney

Broadmeads Pumping Station and Chimney is a pumping station with an adjoining house, built in 1881 by the New River Company. The main building is a tall structure with two storeys and an attic, constructed from yellow-brown stock brick and featuring vivid yellow dressings and rusticated quoins. It has Welsh slated roofs, three sash windows on the first floor, and two large round-headed windows on the ground floor. Notable architectural details include a dentil eaves cornice, pedimented gables with circular windows, and gabled ends on both sides. To the left, there is a small wing of lower elevation with an L-shaped plan, also two storeys high, made of yellow brick and topped with a Welsh slated roof, featuring three windows. A tall, detached brick chimney with a battered profile stands to the right, above a square base with a dentil cornice and a dentil cornice below the set-back top. At the rear, there is a single-storey wing made of yellow-brown brick with vivid yellow dressings and a Welsh slated roof, which includes arched semicircular windows with glazing bars and stone cills, two on the main elevation and one in the east gable end.
