Witherford Watson Mann designed the visitor centre within the Victorian pumping station, to house a café and exhibition, and learning and events spaces. The brick pumphouse was gently repaired, with new steel gantries threaded through, to connect the rooms and offer views over the landscape of water, woods and marshland. A new brick tower housing swift boxes and bat roosts was built on the existing chimney plinth, signalling the transformation of the site from infrastructure to ecology.
