The Pump House, Victoria Dock, Dundee

Single-storey 5-bay gabled pumphouse, alongside the dry graving dock, with central arched doorway. Small-paned windows. End gables with skewputts and ball finials. Slate roof with large skylights and 2 conical-capped ventilators to E, over basement pumps. The pumps were originally steam-powered, probably by vertical marine engines over the pumps. The west end of the pumphouse probably housed the boilers. The chimney and two 5-ton cranes have been demolished. (Historic Environment Scotland List Entry)

The old harbour and docks, built 1815-30, were filled in when the Tay Road Bridge was constructed. Victoria and Camperdown Docks were begun in 1833 by James Leslie to Thomas Telford's design, by David Cunningham, passage between them spanned by a hand operated iron swing footbridge.

January 2006: The building is brought to the SCT attention by the Dundee Historic Environment Trust.

March 2010: External inspection finds the building derelict and boarded up. The gutters and vents require painting and there is some graffiti on the walls. Otherwise, it appears to be in fair condition.

13 May 2016: External inspection finds the building remains disused and boarded up. There are slipped and missing roof slates. Downpipes are missing, the gutter is rusty. Masonry is damp in places with some erosion evident in sections. The western section of the building has been subject to movement - it is unclear whether this is historic. Condition moved to Poor and Risk to Moderate.
