Engine House and Boiler House at Mill Meece Pumping Station, Standon - Stafford

Former pumping station-built c.1914 for the Staffordshire Potteries Waterworks Company. It now operates as a museum. The building was designed by William Campbell and constructed by Thomas Godwin and Son. The engine house and boiler house form part of an exceptionally complete pumping station site with the integrated process of water pumping still readable. Works to repair damage to the boilers caused by asbestos removal were completed in 2020, and the lower roofs were repaired in 2023. Further remedial repair works to the upper roofs are proposed for early 2025.
