Last Sunday myself and other volunteers from the Museum of Water and Steam visited Crossness Pumping Station to see the magnificent Crossness beam engine in steam. This cathedral of sewage, designed by Sir Joseph Bazelgette, cleaned up the River Thames after the 1858 Great Stink

Thanks to our partners such as @Kindlewoods and @HolmeRiver and all the volunteers who collected acorns from veteran and ancient oak trees in 2022. There are now thousands of healthy saplings growing at #Leeds City Council's Arium. 🌱 https://t.co/z7KZTZheWu

It was a fantastic 3 days with the @waterandsteam museum back in steam. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers who worked day and night to install the new boiler and make it happen. Who knows what we can achieve for 2024 but what a great start. This is our amazing water heritage

Such a pleasure to give this talk and I can't think of a more appropriate place than the Museum of Water and Steam, once the operational centre of the Grand Junction Waterworks Co. I'm so looking forward to seeing the museum back in steam on New Year's Eve https://t.co/IM9yhmqgDf

A great turnout last night for the first in a series of new talks and tours at the Museum. A big thank you to our speaker @RobCaseyWCT. Keep an eye on our website for more upcoming events!

Fantastic to meet up with members of the Eco Council @HughMyddelton school and John Burton, chair @PollinatingLT to discuss developing the green spaces at the school. Children were enthusiastic and green spaces at schools offer amazing opportunities to increase biodiversity

It was so nice to be part of the Water Conservators team with the magic tap at the Lord Mayor's Show on Saturday. The weather was excellent and everyone had a great time

Last week the amazing team of volunteers at the London Museum of Water and Steam worked day and night in the rain to winch the new boiler from the museum car park into the museum boiler room so that we can be back in steam for the New Year

A very enjoyable wine tasting evening at Temple Bar along with a presentation on the fascinating history of this amazing building

Great to see the boiler arriving to get the London Museum of Water and Steam back in steam for the New Year, with thanks to our fantastic volunteers who are making this happen https://t.co/B7yQxm7zuj

All we want for Christmas is to be in steam this coming year!

With our Lancashire boiler needing repair or even replacement, a very generous donor has bought us a second hand boiler to get us moving again asap, and to get our museum back on track.

[London Museum of Water & Steam @waterandsteam]

Can you help fund it by supporting our appeal? https://t.co/my0djiivir

This will help bridge our funding gap and buy new gas, water and steam pipes, and water treatment tanks. But more importantly, it sets us up to steam on into a bright future!

[London Museum of Water & Steam @waterandsteam]

Join us at the museum for a talk with Rob Casey from 6pm-7pm on Thursday, November 16, 2023.
