Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum
Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum, Industrial heritage museum in Westonzoyland, England.
The brick-built pumping station contains a collection of steam engines and pumps, including the original 1861 Easton and Amos drainage machine.
The station, constructed in 1830, marked the first mechanical pumping facility on the Somerset Levels to address persistent flooding issues in the region.
The museum displays furnished rooms from the keeper's cottage, representing the living conditions of station workers during the 1930s industrial period.
The museum opens exclusively on Sundays from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with adult admission at £12 and free entry for children under 16.
The Easton and Amos steam engine from 1861 maintains its original position and operational status, pumping 100 tons of water per minute.
