(S2) refers to a steam engine erected at Nog Dam End to help the windpumps which continued in use until replaced by an electric pump; it has a windmill to the north; 'nothing remains on site except a derelict building'. Though this does not sound very much like this site, no other pumphouse is shown on (S3).
