British Engineerium, Victorian engineering museum in West Blatchington, Hove, England.

The British Engineerium occupies the Goldstone Pumping Station complex, featuring distinctive red brick buildings with Gothic architectural elements from 1866.

The site operated as a water pumping station for over a century until 1971, when Jonathan Minns secured its preservation and transformation into a museum.

The museum's collection included steam engines, mechanical equipment, and industrial artifacts that demonstrated the evolution of British engineering through the Victorian era.

The British Engineerium remains closed since 2006, with its extensive collection of mechanical exhibits having been sold through various auctions.

The Grade II* listed complex contained five separate historically protected structures, including a prominent chimney and former boiler house.
