Description
The former pump house, now a shop, was built in 1863 by A. Salvin and has undergone later additions and alterations. It is constructed of stock brick and features a gabled slate roof with brick stacks. The building has a rectangular plan that includes an engine house and engine-keeper's quarters to the right of the accumulator tower. Designed in a domestic style with Gothic influences, it stands two storeys high. The engine house has a six-window range, which includes two bays added to the right in 1933. It features a continuous line of projecting gables that reach the bay, supported by corbelled brackets beneath plain pointed-arched bargeboards. The ground floor has tall pointed-arched windows arranged in an arcade, and there is a dentilled string course. The first floor has segmental arches over two-light casement windows with glazing bars. To the left is the accumulator tower, which has a two-window range, pointed-arched recesses on the first floor, and a shallow-pitched roof. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century.
