Galafoot House (Power House), Galafoot Waste Water Treatment Plant, Galafoot Road

The Ancillary Buildings at Galafoot Waste Water Treatment Plant, dated 1910 with later additions, comprise a complex of sewage works buildings along with related tanks and systems.

The Power House, built in 1910, is a two-storey, seven-bay structure with a T-plan layout located to the west of the site. It features a prominent crowstepped gabled central entrance bay, adorned with a plaque depicting the fox and plum tree crest of Galashiels, inscribed with '1337-sour plums'. The gable ends have arched windows, and the building is constructed from coursed whinstone with smooth red sandstone quoins and margins. It includes a base course and a banded eaves course, along with 6-, 15-, and 18-pane metal casement windows, slate roofs, crowstepped gables, beaked skewputts, crested clay ridge tiles, and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The Laboratory and Office Block is a one- and two-storey, three-bay structure with a piended roof, arranged in an L-plan. The lower laboratory section features tripartite windows on the gables, and there is a later brick and glazed porch at the re-entrant angle, along with a separate door to the laboratory on the southeast side. A c1980s extension is located at the rear (northeast). This building also uses coursed whinstone with smooth red sandstone quoins and margins, a base course, and a banded eaves course. It predominantly has 6-pane over plate glass timber sash and case windows, slate roofs, crested clay ridge tiles, finials, and distinctive corniced blue glazed brick stacks with terracotta cans. The cast-iron gutters are neatly formed to the eaves course.

The Ancillary Buildings consist of a three-bay range made of blue glazed brick, featuring banded and dentilled eaves detail, sandstone margins, and crowstepped gables with beaked skewputts, all topped with slate roofs. Additionally, there is a small one-bay square plan glazed brick pump house in a similar style, which has a piended roof and 9-pane fixed metal casements.
