A lovely small museum with some serious and big engineering. The mainstay of the collection is the six large diesel pumping engines, all British-built and of early to mid twentieth century design, rescued from Fenland pumping stations. The Mirrlees engine is the original engine installed at Prickwillow in 1924, the remainder have been rescued from other sites. The large engines are complemented by a collection of small, portable, engines by Lister, Petter and other manufacturers. These engines are augmented by explanatory boards, photographs, historic maps,  and other exhibits consisting of agricultural implements and artefacts. An introductory audio-visual presentation provides an insight into the history and management of the Fens.
