Abbey Mills Pumping Station

The Grade II* listing was made on 6 November 1974 as list entry 1190476, with Charles Driver as architect and Joseph Bazalgette as engineer. Seven further entries on the same site are Grade II: B Station, NHLE 1357994; C Station with its valve house, NHLE 1392550, listed 9 April 2008; the bases of the pair of former chimney stacks, NHLE 1357995; the gate lodge, NHLE 1080982; the gates and gatepiers, NHLE 1357996; the offices, formerly the superintendent's house, NHLE 1080981; and the stores building, NHLE 1080980. Six of those were first listed on 25 October 1984. Two Moorish chimneys were demolished in 1941 for fear they would guide bombers, and their stumps are what NHLE 1357995 protects. The original station held eight beam engines by Rothwell & Co.; it now runs on electric pumps and assists the modern Station F, completed in 1997 about 200 m south. The Northern Outfall Sewer bridge over the Channelsea River is separately listed Grade II, NHLE 1392549. Abbey Road DLR is the nearest station.
