Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum
10 South Access Road, London, Greater London, E17 8AX
Having restored one of the Marshall engines to working order, attention was then given to the renovation of the building. The roof and windows were repaired and the interior of the building was repainted throughout. All machinery apart from the Marshall engines had been removed for scrap leaving a lot of empty space.
Over the years a collection of items relating to fire fighting, stationary steam engines, pumps, transport and manufacturing, particularly those with a local connection, has been built up. A small steam engine, similar in size to one which had been in the Pump House, will be seen driving workshop machinery by a series of shafts and belts.
