Water Board Pumping Station

The Water Board Pumping Station, built around 1850, is a single-storey structure raised on a plinth made of grey brick, designed in an L shape. It features a low-pitched hipped slate roof and a gable end slate roof with flat eaves and a moulded frieze.

On the southwest front, the left-hand projecting section includes a recessed round-headed window with glazing bars, framed by a rendered pilaster and an architrave above. To the right, there is a six-panel door topped with a radial glazed semi-circular fanlight, sharing the same surround as the left window. The return front of this projection has a similar window. The recessed section features a prominent entrance with large double doors and a segmental arched fanlight, flanked by plain rendered strips and topped with moulded imposts and an architrave.

An extension to the right contains two round-headed windows with fixed iron glazing bars and decorative ties, along with plain rendered flanking strips and an entablature linking the windows at impost level, with architraves above. The gable end facing the street has stone coping and a large round-headed window with iron fixed glazing bars decorated with rosette pattern ties, set within a gault brick surround. The interior houses modern pumping machinery.
