Yet another South Staffordshire Water Works Company pumping station. Was once steam and has a truncated chimney. The diesel engine radiator in the main doorway (that big white rectangle) is most unsympathetic. The steam engines were installed in 1892 and 1893 (according to a company list) and were Hathorn, Davey horizontal tandem compound, rotative, surface condensing pumping engines. They were removed in 1957.
