Details
SK 43 SW PARISH OF ELVASTON BORROWASH ROAD 2/31 (West Side) Pump House GV II Pump house. Early C19, built for the Earl of Harrington and probably designed by William Barron, with later alterations. Red brick on stone plinth with stone dressings. Red tile roof with strange parapets to side walls which curve in at eaves level and curve out again to top, plus flush parapets to gable walls with curved top rising to a central point. Both side and gable wall parapets have been slightly lowered and capped with engineering bricks. Single storey and single bay with waterwheel to east side. South elevation has chamfered trefoil headed doorcase with plank door and cinquefoil headed niche over, with a large 'H' topped by a coronet, within. North and west elevations have cinquefoil headed single light chamfered windows. East side has a cast iron waterwheel with wooden paddles and wooden rim. This is surrounded by a C20 brick wall with iron railings to top. The original pump is still housed inside the building. This was probably the first of a series of similar buildings erected during the creation of the lavish gardens designed by William Barron from 1830-1860, which are included in the Derbyshire Historic Gardens Register at Grade II*. In his diary William Barron records that work on the lake and on the water supplies were among his first projects.
