Description
The pumping station and attached walls, built between 1838 and 1841, are located in Slapton Grove. Constructed of brown brick in English bond, the pumping station features a plinth, offset eaves, and a hipped slate roof. The canal-facing front has double board doors topped with a large, radiating semi-circular fanlight. Each side wall contains two bays of windows with semi-circular heads and cast iron glazing bars, which are decorated with small roundels at the intersections. The windows on the western bay are larger, and there is a similar small window on the eastern end. The walls are topped with blue brick or rendered coping and have blue brick piers with pyramidal cement caps flanking the entrance. The southern wall includes four low depressed arches leading to a side pond.
