Dock Road Edwardian Pumping Station, Grade II listed sewerage pumping station in Northwich, England.
The Dock Road Edwardian Pumping Station features industrial architecture with mechanical components designed for managing municipal sewage systems in the early 1900s.
Constructed in 1913, this pumping station resolved sewage discharge issues into the River Weaver by redirecting waste to the Wallerscote Works treatment facility.
The station represents a crucial development in public health infrastructure, marking the transition from primitive sewage disposal to organized municipal waste management.
The facility maintains its original Crossley gas engines and Haywood Tyler pumps, which processed 9,600 gallons per hour during initial operations.
Modern electric pumps installed in the 1970s increased the processing capacity to 36,000 gallons per hour while preserving the historical equipment.
