We had a very interesting visit to the old pumping station at Crossness, made especially enjoyable by our hosts, Petra and Rob from the Crossness Beam Engine Trust. There are four beam engines in the pump house, one of which has had its engine restored to operating condition, although it doesn't pump, one that is in the process of being restored and two that will remain unrestored. |
