Britain's What's On Event Guide
Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum, In Steam
Heritage Open Day: The use of steam power 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 'award winning' 1861 Easton Amos land drainage machine and see a unique and varied collection of engines, winches, turbines and pumps in action from steam, raised by our 'new' 1924 Portable Robey Boiler, which is well worth seeing.
