Pump House & Pond in Bushy Park
Pump House & Pond in Bushy Park
Waterhouse Woodland Garden was laid out in the 1920 as a job creation project. It takes its name from the small brick house on the edge of the pond. This once housed a pump to control the flow of the water. The pond was initially dug in 1536 and was fed by nearby springs and acted as a reservoir to feed fountains at Hampton Court. After the construction of the Longford River some water was diverted from the river to help keep the pond full. The pump-house was rebuilt in the 19th Century as a mess room for workmen. This is on the route of the London Green Belt Way.
