Carrington Pump House, Heritage engine house in Carrington, New South Wales, Australia.
The former hydraulic power station building features yellow semi-plastic face bricks and sandstone blocks, with original hydraulic machinery components still present inside.
Built from 1877 to 1878, the pump house operated hydraulic cranes with 800psi water pressure to support coal export operations at Bullock Island.
The engine house represents industrial developments in New South Wales, marking the transition from manual to mechanized coal handling at Newcastle's port.
Located at 106 Bourke Street in Carrington, the structure maintains its architectural integrity despite being decommissioned from active service in the late 20th century.
The facility contains preserved crane bases numbered 7 through 10, which showcase the engineering methods used for coal loading during the Victorian era.
