Waterworks Museum
2013-04-21
This working museum makes the story of drinking water to life and frankly uou'd never think it would be so interssting, but it really is! The museum traces the history of drinking water from the cave-dwellers up to the present day through wonderful working engines, superb display panels, illuminated displays, guidebooks and films. Classified by English Heritage as "a site of clear national importance", the Museum is home to the oldest working triple-expansion steam engine in the UK and probably has the widest range of working pumping engines.
