KEMPTON STEAM MUSEUM

If you came with us to Crossness a couple of years ago you will want to visit Kempton.  If you did not come to Crossness, then this is your chance to see some wonderful late Victorian engineering.   The DCC will subsidise this event so you only pay £5.

DATE: Wednesday June 25th  10.00am to 2.00pm    We will have the buildings to ourselves.

Kempton Steam Museum is an independent museum in London governed by the Kempton Great Engines Trust. The trust, a registered Charity, was formed in 1995 with the aim to preserve the historic steam pumping engines at Kempton Park Pumping Station and make them accessible to the public.  All restoration work and the running of the museum is undertaken entirely by a team of volunteers.  Our activities have been made possible through Thames Water giving us access under a 99 year lease.  

Restoration and day-to-day operation of the museum is undertaken by volunteers.  Since 1995, volunteers have successfully returned the ‘Sir William Prescott’ triple-expansion engine to steam and showcase it to the public on several steaming weekends per year.

Recent achievements include the motorisation of one of our two steam turbines to demonstrate the inner mechanisms. Working parties continue to perform restoration projects to ensure the museum’s unique collection is safe for future generations to enjoy.
