This museum showcases a preserved steam-powered pumping station, featuring a massive 1902-built steam engine that once supplied water to the local area. The museum offers guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the engine house and learn about its history and operation. The steam engine is still operational and is demonstrated regularly, providing a unique and fascinating experience for visitors of all ages.
Absolutely brilliant seeing the machines still running just shows how good the UK Engineering was, I would definitely recommend this as a trip into the past.
Excellent museum. Some great exhibits and the main steam engine is something to be in awe of.
Great day out, very interesting & three steam engines not just the one
What a fantastic place - a real living museum where you step back in time to see the industrial powerhouse. All the volunteers were extremely helpful and had plenty of time to chat and talk about the engine. The cake was also nice from the cafe!
We visited on the first Sunday of this month and really enjoyed experiencing the power and incredible engineering of the steam machinery in action. The volunteers were hard working and helpful. Would recommend a visit to this the largest working steam powered mill engine in the world. Well worth the entrance fee and the supplement for the cost of coal at todays prices
First time there interesting. I've now become a member at this Mill working on Steam days and none Steam days. Helping to rebuild another Steam engine. Working with the other members who are great to work with. Update come and Irene in steam. I'll be running her on May 5th Classic car show and bikes fun for all ages.
