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 in which the integrated process of water pumping is still readable. Works to repair damage to the boilers caused by asbestos removal were completed in 2020, enabling the steam engines to be used once more. Roof repairs are expected to commence in 2022.
