Description
Saltmoor Pumping Station is a pumping station and manager's dwelling built in the mid-19th century, with a rear extension and a new engine added in the mid-20th century. The building is constructed of red brick in English bond, with a squared and coursed lias plinth and a hipped slate roof. There are brick stacks positioned between the first and second bays on the left and another rising from the eaves on the right. The original engine house features triple Roman tiles and a battered chimney, while a later addition has a corrugated iron roof.
The structure is L-shaped, with the chimney and engine located in the southeast corner, and a lean-to addition on the south front that houses the 20th-century engine. The north front faces the river and has two storeys with a layout of one to three bays, where the first-floor end bay on the left is unlit. All windows are 2-light, and the entrance to the dwelling is in the second bay on the left, featuring a square-headed plank door with decorative hinges. There is a similar door with plain hinges leading to the pump house between the first and second bays on the left. The left return has a tall lias plinth that forms a retaining wall for the water channel known as Engine Drove. The interior has not been seen.
