The Wylam Pumping Station was built in 1876 by the Newcastle and Gateshead Water Company to house a steam-powered Cornish beam engine that pumped water from the River Tyne up to the Whittle Dean Reservoirs. It was decommissioned in 1976 when new facilities at Ovingham took over, after which the original building was adapted to pump drinking water from the Horsley Treatment Works south of the river.
