Description:The station was built and used by the South Staffordshire Water Company in the mid to late 1850s.

In front of the Main Building are the steam operated beam pumping engines, with the chimney to the left-hand side.
Below the building was an 18 feet in diameter red brick-lined well, from which 6 feet square heads, 100 yards long accessed the coal seams that Littleton Colliery worked. The water from these seams then supplied the well for the South Staffordshire water system, which in turn supplied both industry and the local populus. The station was demolished in the 1970s, and on the site is now Naden House, sheltered accommodation for elderly people.

Naden House built on the site of the pumping station was named after Naden who was the architect for building the waterworks.
