Kennet & Avon Canal - Crofton Pumping Station

Crofton Beam Engines were built 200 years ago to supply water to the highest point of the Kennet & Avon canal, where it runs through Savernake Forest. Being still in working condition, they represent an installation which has major, international significance for industrial archaeology. They illustrate directly the development of motive power and canal transport, both important elements of the industrial revolution which laid the foundation stone of the developed world we know today. In recognition of their historical significance, the two engines (one of which is of original Boulton & Watt construction) and the engine house all have Grade 1 Listed status. In keeping with that status, every effort is made to retain the pumping station and the appearance of the engines in the condition that existed when it was in use. The engines still keep the canal full when in steam so maintained here, is a living installation rather than a museum. http://www.croftonbeamengines.org/ind...
