Water Pumping House
GV II
Water pumping house. Dated 1870 over doorway; altered.
Red brick in English bond with sandstone dressings and slate
roofs on 2 levels.
T-plan formed by main range on approx. east-west axis with
double-pile range (possibly the former boiler house) across
east end. Jacobethan style.
The main range has a basement and one tall storey with the
appearance of 2 storeys, a gabled 1-window facade and 2-window
sides.
The facade has a small raised terrace approached by a small
flight of steps, wide corner pilasters with quoined corners, a
moulded cornice and a large shaped gable; a large
square-headed doorway with a heavy stone architrave including
an arcaded entablature and cresting with a shield lettered
"SALUS PER UNDAS 1870", and above this a mullion-and-transom
8-light window.
The sides have shaped gables to the corner pilsters and to a
raised centre, and between these similar 8-light windows on
both floors.
The range to the rear is single-storeyed, with a corbel table
and cornice, coupled shaped gables and large round-headed
archways with banded surrounds (one a doorway and the other
altered as a window); and its rear wall has windows in similar
style.
INTERIOR: altered machinery pumping water from 2 bore holes.
An unusual building of striking architectural appearance,
reflecting Victorian awareness of the historical significance
of public water supplies; forms group with associated lodge
(q.v.).
