Brede Waterworks, Historical waterworks in Brede, England
The waterworks features three stationary steam engines housed in red-brick buildings, designed to pump water from Brede to Hastings reservoirs.
Constructed in 1904 to meet Hastings' growing water demands, the facility included an 18-inch gauge tramway for transporting construction materials and coal.
The site preserves engineering heritage through its collection of steam engines, water pumps, and mechanical equipment from the early 20th century.
Visitors can explore the restored machinery, inspect the 410hp triple expansion steam pumping engine, and learn about water distribution systems.
The facility maintains its original Art Deco building from 1942, which houses a Worthington-Simpson triple-expansion steam engine.
