Heaton Park Reservoir Pumping Station
The pumping station on the Heywood Road side of Heaton Park Reservoir is a small, square building constructed in 1954-5 using Yorkshire sandstone. It is notable for the large relief, by sculptress Mitzi Cunliffe which depicts the bringing of water from Haweswater to Manchester. The mural uses Westmorland greenstone from Broughton Moor; beneath it are five plaques telling the history of the Haweswater supply.
In 1998, the pumping station was designated as a Grade II listed building by English Heritage.
