Coleham Pumping Station, Steam machinery museum in Shrewsbury, England.
The building contains two substantial beam engines constructed by Renshaws of Stoke, featuring coal-fired boilers that operated the sewerage system until 1970.
Opened on January 4th, 1901, this Grade II listed structure served as a critical component of Shrewsbury's public health infrastructure during the Victorian era.
The Shrewsbury Steam Trust, composed entirely of volunteers, maintains and operates this museum dedicated to preserving industrial engineering heritage.
The pumping station welcomes visitors on selected dates throughout the year, with specific opening times and tour information available through their official website.
The station retains audio recordings from 1968 that document the authentic sounds of the machinery during its operational period.
