Description
The Pump House is a pumping station rebuilt in 1897 by Norwich Corporation. It is constructed of red brick with a blue brick plinth and corners, and it features a plain tile roof. The building is single storey and has six bays on the east elevation, which include recessed bays with segmental arches and a block-band above. The windows, which were boarded up at the time of the re-survey, are located in alternate bays. There is a door in the third bay of the north elevation. The structure has an ogee and roll-moulded brick stringcourse, overhanging eaves, and a hipped roof with a gablet. It also features two gable dormers and decorative ridge-tiles. A plaque indicating the 1912 flood level is present. Inside, it contains a pneumatic ejection sewage pump and gear, which is noted to be the only other example found in the Houses of Parliament.
