Dogdyke Steam and Diesel Pumping Station
Heritage Open Day: The unique 1856 Bradley and Craven beam engine will be in steam and the 1940, Lincoln built, Ruston and Hornsby diesel pumping engine will be at work. In the grounds is a display of old farm equipment, vintage vehicles and bygones. Dogdyke Pumping Station is typical of the many engines found, keeping the land dry in the Fens. The site is complete with the engine attendant's cottage, which houses a refreshment room and small museum of land drainage. The steam powered beam engine, built by Bradley and Craven of Wakefield in 1856, will be at work. It is the last example of an operating scoop wheel in the UK. Also at work is the 1940 Ruston and Hornsby 7XHR type diesel engine powering a Gwynnes' centrifugal pump, both made in Lincoln.
