The scene presents an exterior view of the Gillingham Pumping Station, located on Pier Road in Gillingham, United Kingdom, captured during nighttime. The primary subject is a multi-story building constructed of red-brown brick with lighter-toned stone or brick architectural detailing, including arched window surrounds and cornices. A square tower rises from the left side of the structure. Multiple arched windows are visible across the facade, with some containing internal light sources. A large, dark archway, likely a main entrance, is positioned on the right side of the building, fronted by dark metal fencing. A tall, grey streetlamp with a bright white light source occupies the left-center foreground, casting illumination onto a group of deciduous trees with bare branches situated between the lamp and the building. The foreground consists of a dark asphalt road with partially visible white road markings and a grey paved sidewalk running parallel to the building. The sky is uniformly dark. No persons, vehicles, or observable activities are present within the frame.
