Abbey Mills Pumping Station
Abbey Mills Pumping Station, Victorian sewage pumping station in Mill Meads, England
The Abbey Mills Pumping Station features ornate Byzantine architectural elements with an octagonal dome and decorative ironwork throughout its cruciform structure.
Built between 1865 and 1868 under Joseph Bazalgette's direction, the station contained eight beam engines manufactured by Rothwell & Co of Bolton.
The structure exemplifies Victorian engineering values through its combination of industrial function and elaborate architectural design, earning it Grade II status.
Thames Water operates this pumping facility to transfer sewage from London's drainage system into the Northern Outfall Sewer toward Beckton treatment works.
Two Moorish-style chimneys originally adorned the building until their removal in 1941 during World War II due to bombing concerns.
