The Leawood Pump House (also known as High Peak Pump House) was built near Cromford, Derbyshire, England in 1849 to supply water to the Cromford Canal, built some 50 years previously.
[2] Located a little along the canal towpath from High Peak Junction, it stands to a height of 45 feet (14 m) on the right bank of the River Derwent, at the end of the Derwent Aqueduct, and has a 95-foot (29 m) chimney stack with a cast-iron cap.
The Watt-type beam engine was designed and erected by Graham and Company of Milton Works, Elsecar, Sheffield.
Water is drawn from the River Derwent through a 150-yard (140 m) tunnel to a reservoir in the basement.
It was restored in 1979 by the Cromford Canal Society and is run periodically.
