Mount Crosby Pumping Station Complex (QHR)
Work on the Mount Crosby pumping station began in 1890. A bridge was essential for operation of the pumping station because its coal supplies came from Ipswich, but floods in the 1890s destroyed the first and second bridges. The foundations of the third bridge, built in 1899 and removed in 1927, are situated beside the present bridge. To ensure continual water supply, a low-level weir was constructed in 1902 downstream of the pumping station. It was replaced by a concrete weir, built between 1923 and 1927. The present weir and overbridge were constructed in 1927, with a fish ladder added in 1940 and a terraced wall in 1979.
This is now a Queensland Heritage Place. Please refer to the Queensland Heritage Register for further details.
