The original pumping station was built in 1856 and subsequently extended several times.

It now houses an abundance of exhibits telling the story of the supply of water, including a two-storey high triple expansion steam pumping engine and an 1851 Harvey's of Hayle beam engine pump. Little known hot-air engines also feature and there should be a steam road roller in attendance.

Admission on this day is free of charge and is one of their "In Steam" days.

Further details can be found on the museum website www.waterworksmuseum.org.uk
