Description
The Valve House to Honor Oak Pumping Station is a building constructed between 1902 and 1905. It features a combination of glazed brick in header and Flemish bond at the plinth, deep red brick in the same bonds, and dressings made of artificial stone. The roof is a convex mansard made of metal pressed to resemble fishscale, topped with a pyramidal ventilator at the center.
The building has a rectangular plan consisting of three bays, with the center bay stepping out to create segmental bays on the east and west faces, resulting in an almost cruciform shape. It is a single-storey structure with parapeted roofs on the end bays. All openings are flat-arched, with single doors in short returns and one window on each face of the end bays. The segmental bays contain two windows each. Each opening is framed with moulded architraves. The corners feature pilasters of the Tuscan order on socles, and there is an entablature and parapet.
The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a group with the Honor Oak Pumping Station.
