The Pumping Station is on Yeoman Street and is the rectangular building pointing to the north-east. There are labels and they may help. These are pictures I took of the outside of the pumping station.

It is a building of simple practicality rather than architectural merit. Hopefully the new building works will improve it.

This image was one I clipped from the Tideway Tunnel site.

This is one of those sites, which if they used some good project planning and got a keen architect to skin and landscape everything properly, they could create a building that fitted in to the area well.
