The pump and clock tower on Heath Green were listed by the former Department of Environment in 1974 as Grade II, of special interest.
The structure is certainly the one thing someone may remember from a drive through the village.
It was built in 1873 and had iron pumping machinery inside the shed part from which the clock tower rises. It is owned and maintained by Heath and Reach Parish Council.
Plaques on either side of the door note that the pump was presented by W. Brantom and that the structure was built in memory of William Abraham.
