The Old Pumphouse

The Old Pumphouse
Nottingham

The Old Pumphouse was originally designed in 1850 by the famous Victorian Engineer Thomas Hawksley. Since closing in 1900 it has had a variety of uses until becoming vacant and dilapidated in 2000. Franklin Ellis purchased the site in 2008 and have lovingly restored the Listed building and extended it to create 8,000 square feet for our own offices. The conversion includes three floors of modern office space, a large reception area, and two meeting rooms.
