LEEDS

714-1/61/805 (South East side)
05/08/76 Headingley Taps Public House
(Formerly Listed as:
NORTH LANE, Headingley
North Lane Pumping Station)
GV II
Pumping station, now public house. 1879-80, converted 1993-4.
Built for the Leeds Corporation Waterworks. Rock-faced ashlar,
steep-pitched slate roof. E-plan, the long, lower range
parallel to Bennett Road and 3 gabled wings, the central wing
smaller and recessed, facing the yard on North Lane.
Outer gables: central entrance with boarded door, inscription
over, under hoodmould with coat of arms; flanking tall lancet
windows, a mullion and transom window of 3 stepped lights
above. Dutch gables with finials, missing on right, and
louvred ventilators with pyramidal roof and wrought-iron
finial. The rear 7-window range has shaped dormers and Dutch
end gables.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The 2 large wings probably housed the pumping engines; the
'lofty chimney' described in 1905 (Kelly) does not survive.
The 1867 Leeds Waterworks Act resulted in the construction of
3 reservoirs in the Washburn valley; 7 filter beds were built
at Weetwood and the water which did not reach the town by
gravitation was brought to the well of the pumping station
from whence it was pumped to the high-service reservoirs at
Moortown and Bramley.
