abandoned / shut down, water supply pumping station, onshore/coastal pumping station
Currently owned by Northumbrian Water
Original beam engine was moved from Newburn Water Pumping Station (built 1854).
used to extract water from the river Tyne through a gravel filled channel. The water was used for drinking, brewing and general use by the citizens of Newcastle. The supply was not very clean, subject to ingress of salt from the tides, and the channel silted up rendering pumping impossible at times.
The Station was soon abandoned and the engines were moved to Wylam, The new pumping station housed two engines which were made by Barclay.
