HISTORY: built by Rennie to drain his No.1 -now No.3 -dry dock (qv), the first stone dry dock at Chatham. The design is similar to his engine house at Sheerness (demolished) and illustrated in his Treatise on Docks. This is the oldest dock pumping station and, apart from the New River Head pumping station, the earliest surviving purpose-built pumping station in the country. It is also one of the oldest engine houses built for a Boulton and Watt engine. A very early steam pumping station retaining considerable archaeological evidence for its working, and part of a fine assemblage of Georgian naval docks and dockyard buildings.
