A mid 19th century water pumping station, now in the care of Severn Trent Water whose compound it sits in. It was designed by Henry Marlen, and built in 1845, at a time when there were several reservoirs and settling pools close by, presumably to supply a clean water into the growing town of Wolverhampton. A Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101207848-tettenhall-pumping-station-tettenhall-wightwick-ward#.YecZU_7P3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1207848 was granted in 1991.
