The book Industrial Archaeology of North Staffordshire by W J Thompson (not dated) shows a fine steam pumping station with a tall chimney. I reckon this was on the grassy area. The distant house is called "Pump House" and would have been the superintendent's house. The architecture is municipal and there is a water authority keep out sign. A rapidly moving automobile has activated the automatic slow down sign.
