Engine house, boiler house and workshop, Papplewick Pumping Station, Longdale Lane, Ravenshead, Ravenshead / Papplewick - Gedling

Pumping Station laid out1881-84 by Nottingham Corporation Water Department to the designs by the Corporation engineer, M Ogle Tarbotton in a Gothic Revival style. By 2022, the chimney was suffering from significant efflorescence and high-level dressings required repair; the boundary wall and large timber framed Boiler House porch were in very poor condition. The whole site was vulnerable given the significant repair needs of key buildings. Historic England funded development work in 2022 and Arts Council England awarded a repair grant in early 2023. Work commenced in spring 2024.
