Waterworks Pumping Station

The Waterworks Pumping Station is a late 19th-century building constructed of stock brick, featuring dressings of red brick and stone, with roofs that are either slated or made of copper. The design is elaborate, with the main body of the building being circular and topped by a shallow slated dome. Above this, a raised glazed drum supports a smaller copper dome. To the south, there is a two-storey square tower crowned with a tall copper dome set on slated squinches and flanked by angle turrets. At both ends of the main structure, there are apsidal projections with half-domes. To the north, a lower arcaded link connects to a small rectangular building. The main building is adorned with three-light casement windows featuring decorative glazing, which alternate with flat buttresses, all resting on a plinth of dark bricks. The tower section has two large windows on the ground floor and five narrow windows grouped above.
