Our collection
|
Our collection includes six large diesel pumping engines, all British-built and of early to mid twentieth century design, rescued from Fenland pumping stations.
Our Mirrlees engine is the original engine installed at Prickwillow pumping station in 1924. 
John Setchfield, the last diesel pumping engine driver at Prickwillow.
The large engines are complemented by a collection of small, portable, engines by Lister, Petter and other manufacturers.
All the engines in our collection have been restored and are maintained by a team of volunteers. If you'd like to join us, you can find out more here. |
