The Pump House Environment Centre, Barbourne, Worcester
The former waterworks building now an environment centre. The architecture is fine and these buildings once held steam pumps although the chimney is long gone. The grounds contain a small horizontal duplex non-rotative steam pump. The waterworks was a Thomas Hawksley design and was built in at least two phases in 1857 and 1868. Apparently the engines were removed in 1895 and electric pumps installed. That was a very early installation and steam pumps were to be installed in UK waterworks until the 1930s. The site closed in 1995 and the Environment Centre was opened in 2004.
