Description

The Pumping Station at Lock 35 on the Grand Union Canal was built around 1838-1841. It is constructed of brown brick and features offset and boarded eaves along with a hipped slate roof. A tall square brick chimney, adorned with a blue brick band and a restored stone head, rises from the structure. The front facing the canal and the left end each have a doorway with a semi-circular arch, with the left end featuring double doors. The rear of the building has three windows, each with semi-circular heads and cast iron glazing bars that are decorated at the intersections. One of the windows is boarded up. This information is referenced in A.H. Faulkner's book, "The Grand Junction Canal," published in 1972.
