Description

The former ancillary building, located to the southwest of the Lambeth Waterworks engine house, was constructed around 1851-1852 by James Simpson for the Lambeth Waterworks Company. This building is made of stock brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. It has a gable end with stone coping, an oculus, and a metal casement window, which is flanked by round-headed windows. The structure includes buttresses and the side elevations have a parapet with machicolations that extend over the end bays, which contain round-headed windows in two stages. Additionally, there are three further recessed two-stage casements. This building is included for its group value.
