Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum, In Steam
Heritage Open Day: The use of steam on the Somerset Levels for land drainage began at Westonzoyland in 1830, when the first of eight pumping stations was built on the banks of the River Parrett. Discover how steam was used to power the 1861 Easton Amos land drainage machine and see it in action, together with our unique and varied collection of engines, winches, turbines and pumps. There is even a steam powered milk bottle washer.
The Museum also features a 2’ narrow gauge railway used for demo
