Pump House, Bracebridge Service Reservoir, Grantham Road, Bracebridge Heath
Grade II Listed Pump House designed by Niel McKechnie Barron 1912. The typhoid epidemic in 1904/5 resulted in 131 deaths in Lincoln. Contaminated water from Hartsholme Reservoir got the blame and so a new source was found at Elkesley and piped to Westgate Water Tower. The surplus is passed to the six million gallon Bracebridge Heath Reservoir by gravitation. Steam engines pumped the water from Elkesley until 1973 when one blew up and had to be replaced with the modern electric station. The Reservoir was constructed to replace an 'old' open reservoir on Bracebridge Heath on London Road which had been built in 1871. It was left water-filled from 1912 as an emergency supply in case of fire at the Bracebridge Asylum until the new 'Hospital' water tower was erected and connected to the mains in 1925.
