Description

Detached single-bay single-storey former pump shed, built in 1877, by the Midland Great Western Railway, with extension to rear. Now used for storage. Former flat roof replaced by single-pitched corrugated-iron roof. Random coursed stone walls with quoins. Round-headed door opening with red brick surround and fanlight.

Appraisal

This pump house is located strategically beside the engine shed. It preformed an important function to hose down incoming engines. As part of the overall Midland Great Western Railway complex it is a significant element of the site's heritage.
