Eastney Beam Engine House
Eastney Beam Engine House, Victorian engine house and local museum in Portsmouth, England
The Eastney Beam Engine House contains two 150 horsepower James Watt & Co. beam engines within its industrial brick structure from the Victorian period.
Built in 1887, this Grade II listed building housed steam-powered pumps that formed part of Portsmouth's municipal sewage management system until modern replacements arrived.
The engine house represents a period of rapid industrial development when cities implemented large-scale engineering solutions to address public health requirements.
Visitors can explore the museum on the last weekend of each month, when volunteers demonstrate the operational beam engine and its massive flywheel.
The restoration project in 1980 received £16,066 in combined funding from Portsmouth City Council, Hampshire County Council, and the Department of the Environment.
