The Crofton pump house and chimney were built in 1807 and started working in 1809. I think the patches on the wall were where the beams for the 1812 Boulton and Watt pump were passed through the wall.

The summer house sits on a small island with the river threading around it. I can imagine when it was new it was a great place to sit and fish or sit and watch the river flow by. But by the time I took this photo it appears it's best days were behind it.
