Spotswood, VIC

The North Courtyard of the historic Spotswood Pumping Station, constructed between 1893 and 1897, serves as a central gathering point within the complex. This courtyard marks the convergence of the north and south pumping houses, facilitating the flow of sewage through the system. Notably, beneath the asphalted surface lies the "covering way," an iron floor that covers the original collector tanks and discharge piping. The courtyard's symmetrical design and the presence of a 1942 below-ground air raid shelter underscore its historical significance.
