Walls Enclosing Goldstone Pumping Station

The walls enclosing the former Goldstone Pumping Station date from the mid-19th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. They are constructed from coursed pebbles with a cement coping, along with brick and cast-iron elements. The site is roughly square and rises sharply to the west, featuring entrances on the north-west side and in the south corner. The north-east, south-east, and northern half of the west wall are made of pebbles, while late 20th-century brick piers with wrought-iron gates mark the entrances. The wall returns around the east corner and includes eight bays of brick piers topped with pyramid caps, a dentil-moulded cornice, recessed panels, and cast-iron railings adorned with fleur-de-lys heads. On the south wall, there is an arched recess that once held a carved marble basin for a drinking water fountain, which is inscribed with the phrase 'Commit no nuisance' but is in poor condition. Additionally, there are two small barrel-vaulted brick recesses on the internal face of the south wall that previously protected small pieces of machinery. The walls are included for their group value.
