The site appears to have been used to pump water from an adjacent stream up hill to Rousden Mansion, or alternatively pumped sewage. The layout of the pumping station is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map, with structures built of brick and concrete, the use of the latter at this early date (pre 1880s) is important. The tanks survive in good, almost complete condition. The octagonal pumping station, which contains two engine bases, is now reduced to low walls but the ornate chimney stack appears to still stand to full height, although it is covered with ivy.
