Kinning Park Pumping Station:
Opened in 1910. A fine terracotta red brick structure, with five large window bays down the north Milnpark elevation and a single window bay on the east Seaward Street elevation. Each bay comprises of a large tall round headed window then a further semi-circular window above. The Milnpark Street elevation is topped by a series of rounded tops to each bay down the elevation. The roof has large glazed areas and the interior is a full height open space with the walls tiled with gloss white glazed tiling. Adjoining the building are a series of single storey structures making up the site as a whole. The buillding was re-furbished in 2009 and still functions as an integral part of Scottish Water's service within this area. Category B listed.
