Prickwillow Museum, Technology museum in Prickwillow, England.
The museum exhibits a collection of restored diesel engines and machinery within a former pumping station building near the city of Ely.
The building served as a critical drainage pumping station during the transformation of Fenland marshes into agricultural land through extensive water management systems.
The museum preserves the industrial heritage of the Fens region through educational programs and demonstrations of operational drainage engines and agricultural equipment.
Visitors can access the museum on weekends between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM, with admission prices ranging from free for young children to £3.50 for adults.
The facility maintains several functioning vintage drainage engines, including a Vickers Petter 2-stroke model and a Mirrlees 5-cylinder engine that demonstrate water management techniques.
