Leawood Pump House, Industrial pumping station in Cromford, England
The Leawood Pump House stands 45 feet tall with a 95-foot chimney stack, positioned between the Cromford Canal and River Derwent in Derbyshire.
Built in 1849, the pump house contained a Watt-type beam engine manufactured by Graham and Company to supply water from the River Derwent to the Cromford Canal.
The Grade II* listed building represents the engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution, featuring a 33-foot beam engine that lifted water 30 feet high.
The pump house operates during specific weekends from Easter to October, allowing visitors to observe the restored machinery and learn about industrial water management.
The engine transfers nearly four tons of water per stroke, with historical restrictions permitting operation only between Saturday evening and Sunday evening.
