Designed by architect Henry Dare Bryan and engineer James Mansergh the Grade II Listed engine house, boiler house and chimney at Clevedon pumping station was built in 1901. An unusual example in the Domestic Revival style. A leading figure in the establishment of the Clevedon Waterworks Company in 1863 was Sir Arthur Hallam Elton (1818-83), 7th Baronet of Clevedon Court. Completed by 1867 and unable to meet demand by 1901 this new pumping station was created on Tickenham Road. Originally containing a Glenfield and Kennedy vertical triple expansion engine it was replaced in 1916 by a Marshal horizontal compound engine and then in 1938 by a steam turbine. The Clevedon Waterworks Company was taken over by the Bristol Waterworks Company (Bristol Water) in 1953.
