This industrial heritage museum showcases a preserved 1860s steam-powered pumping station, featuring a massive beam engine and other original equipment. The museum offers guided tours, exhibits, and interactive displays that explore the history of water supply and sewage management in the UK. Visitors can explore the engine house, boiler house, and other areas of the pumping station, gaining insight into the innovative engineering and technology of the time.
Took the family to try this place out on a special opening for the August Bank Holiday, and I'm so glad we did. It is not a big place but it has a good size collection of Steam Engines and items from that era. There is loads of information on all the Steam Engines and quite a few interactive displays as well as an I spy game for younger visitors. The staff were all really friendly and happy to answer questions, they are obviously all very knowledgeable on the Steam era and the history of the site. The cafe was small but very reasonably priced, serving hot and cold drinks, home made cakes and ice creams. This place is well worth a visit and we will definitely be going back.
Such a hard place to find, my Sat Nav in my car said it was there but very lost, even though we had the correct postcode, so resorted to Google maps on auto android, l can't believe hardly any signage, l we almost gave up. The railway is very tiny and basically for kids, the industrial museum was very interesting and l have an engineering type background and the machines and lathes were a dream come true, they even had a hand driven polishing mop, these tiny details, made our search worthwhile. Dog friendly and there is a Cafe too. PS12 on special days the train ride is PS1.50 for as many goes as you want.
Very nice place to visit good for children dog friendly. Nice little train ride price is very good. Cafe is very good and basic cakes are home made
This was actually a really good find by my son, We were out on a bike ride on the bank Holiday Monday to burrow mump and cycled back home along the parrot going through Westonzoyland, my son was in the front and saw the sign and said can we go and look I said sure why not, and what we found was fantastic!, My son loves anything to do with steam anyway so he was happy!, but yeah....fantastic find,
Great place, specially when steaming. Great to see various steam engines working. You don't get to see this in this modern age. Parking is a bit limited, nice cafe but refreshments are limited.
Great day out at Steam on the Levels. Great to see our industrial heritage being preserved and in working order. Well worth a visit but check their website for opening and steam up days.
