Boughton Pumping Station

Situated on the edge of Sherwood Forest, Boughton Pumping Station opened in 1905 together with an associated Superintendent's house and five workers' cottages.

Boughton Pumping Station Partnership Trust secured funding to restore the buildings and by 1998 the works were complete.

[1] In 2016, a planning application to convert the building into nine one-bedroom and two-bedroom flats was submitted by Aldred Developments to Newark and Sherwood District Council.

[3] The Blackburn Engine House, the main pumphouse, was designed by William Beedham Starr which included a tall brick chimney.

The Pumphouse was commissioned by the Nottingham Corporation Water Department and was capable of pumping 20 million imperial gallons (91,000 m3) per day through 15.75 miles (25.35 km) of 30-inch (76 cm) pipe from the underground sandstone Aquifer.
