HISTORY: The Pumping Station (q.v., II*) was built 1854-6 to the designs of W. Chadwell Mylne in an picturesque medieval fortress style. The boundary wall and railings first appear on a map of 1883. This was the site of the 1830s New River reservoirs, with filter beds added from 1855. The Metropolitan Water Board was established in 1902 at which time the undertakings of the New River Company were transferred.
Listed as the intact section of Victorian brick boundary wall with iron railings that has good group value with the Grade II* former Engine House and Ancilliary Building.
