Description
Brede Valley Waterworks is part of Hastings Water Works and was built around 1900. The building features a brick ground floor with a roughcast first floor on the east front. It has a brick cornice above the ground floor and a wooden modillion cornice above the first floor, topped with a slate roof. The structure is two storeys tall with an attic in the gable ends. It has seven-window bays on the north and south sides and three-window bays on the east and west sides. The gables on the east and west sides are designed to resemble pediments and include round attic windows. The windows are segmental-headed, with taller ones on the ground floor and lunettes above. There is a one-storey wing with four windows to the north and a taller engine house from around 1930 beyond that. The interior has not been inspected, but it is reported to contain one of two original 410 horsepower Tangye inverted vertical triple expansion engines from 1904 in the main hall of the red brick engine house, and the original Worthington-Simpson pumping engine from 1940 in the northern 1930s building.
