Engine and Boiler House, Clevedon Pumping Station, Tickenham Road, Clevedon
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.

Engine House
This prominent object must be seen by many travellers on the M5 motorway, but how many know what it is? Victorian/Edwardian engineers went to great trouble to create elegant buildings to house their new sanitary water supplies. This one is no exception, beautifully created in the Arts & Craft style, it is well preserved and still functions, albeit with electricity instead of steam powering the pumps.
