Britain's What's On Event Guide
Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum
Heritage Open Day: Grade II listed Victorian engine house remodelled to take a pair of 1895 Marshall steam engines, still in working order running on compressed air. A museum celebrating the rich Boroughs and the Lea Valley Region Industrial Heritage. Having restored one of the Marshall engines to working order, attention was then given to the renovation of the building. The roof and windows were repaired and the interior of the building was repainted throughout. All machinery apart from the Marshall engines had been removed for scrap leaving a lot of empty space.
Over the years a collection of items relating to fire fighting, stationary steam engines, pumps, transport and manufacturing, particularly those with a local connection, has been built up. A small steam engine, similar in size to one which had been in the Pump House, will be seen driving workshop machinery by a series of shafts and belts.
