Whitewebbs Pumping Station was built in 1898. The old channel of the New River on the north side of Cuffley Brook was re-opened and used as a feeder. The water then flowed in the opposite direction to when it was part of the (original) New River. Pumping stopped in about 1950. Chris Allen has submitted a photo of the building in 1985 Image before it was transformed into Whitewebbs Museum of transport http://www.whitewebbsmuseum.co.uk/ . A rear view of the building is shown in Image (photographed by John Webb).
