BRIGHTON STANMER PARK Water catcher at TQ 3335 0978

II

Water catcher lying between the north boundary of Stanmer Park Nurseries and the borough boundary. Approx 70 metres long and approx 12 metres wide. Built in 1870-5 to the design of Thomas Jones, estate foreman, and enlarged to the west in the 1890s. Brick, cement and a mixture of tar and sand. The surface was coated with tar and sand in the 1930s; it has with occasional breaks acting as channels, a continuous gulley to one side and a brick break, the boundary of the first build, approx 25 metres from the west; brick and cement tank at the east end, to the full width of the catch and approx 1 metre deep, with an overflow at the north-east corner and the remains of the filter system to the south end. The catcher supplied water for the internal plumbing of Stanmer House (qv) and to the estate buildings; though it now lacks the surrounding walls of timber construction and slate roof which carried water down onto its face, it is listed as a rare technical feature.
