Westonzoyland Engine Trust Old Pumping Station at NGR ST3396232827

The Westonzoyland Engine Trust Old Pumping Station, now preserved by the Westonzoyland Engine Trust, is a former pumping station dating from the early 19th century. It features Flemish bond brick construction with a hipped slate roof that has wide eaves, along with double-Roman and pantiled roofs, brick stacks, and a brick chimney. The engine house is square in plan and two storeys high, with an additional two-storey range attached to the south, a single-storey outshut to the east, and a collection of single-storey outbuildings. A tall, plain tapering chimney, square in plan, abuts the engine house.

The engine house has a segmental-pointed opening facing the river, equipped with an iron shutter, and above it is a three-light casement window with glazing bars. The remaining windows on other sides are boarded over, and the door openings have plank doors.

Inside, there is an Appold steam engine and pump, built by Easton and Amos of Southwark in 1861, which was used to raise water from the adjacent levels into the River Parrett. The impeller pump is suspended above the bottom of a well and is driven by bevel gears from the engine that is also suspended over the well.

The adjacent 20th-century pumping station is not of special interest.
