Claymills Pumping Station
Claymills Pumping Station, Victorian sewerage pumping station in Burton, England
The restored station includes four large Woolf compound beam engines, built by Gimson and Company of Leicester in 1885, arranged in mirror pairs.
The station operated until 1971, managing both sewage and brewery waste from Burton, before falling into disrepair until restoration work began in 1993.
The station received the Engineering Heritage Award for preserving industrial machinery and educating visitors about Victorian engineering through working demonstrations.
Visitors can explore the station during steaming days, which occur on select weekends, with adult admission priced at £10 and free entry for children under 15.
The facility maintains 33 operational steam engines, including two dynamo engines that generate electricity for lighting using original 19th-century equipment.
