Crossness Pumping Station

Vehicles are parked on site, supervised by polite and helpful volunteers. The brick structure of the existing building is worth a look in itself. The pumps in operation are very grand and the paint work on wrought iron is outstanding. The exhibition is colorful, the cafe is good, and even the toilets are clean and tidy. "A great trip."

It was a magical place. This was our third time here, but it was our first time here after the renovation inside and outside. The RANG train looked great and we couldn’t wait for it to start running. And the rooms were fun and informative.

Crossness Pumping Station London Sewage Treatment Plant is a sewage treatment center built in Victorian times. It is quite oriental and is known as the "Sewage Cathedral". After 1858, the first opening has attracted many visitors, and it has reopened after raising funds in recent years. This time to share the overall view, interested friends must not miss it! I booked a guide tour. First of all, the narrator led everyone into a room to explain the development history of the British steam era sewage treatment plant for about 30 minutes. If you have any questions, you can also ask him directly. After the end of the five people, divided into four groups of different guides to guide the development of the place. Following the guide, he explained the whole terrain and the changes in the pattern during the expansion, and 14 processing equipment was placed in the hall. Next is the pumping station (Crossness Beam engine), everyone needs to wear a helmet before entering. Four huge beam engines are placed on both sides of the building about 30 meters high. One of the engines is still operational. The main beam works through high and low pressure, constantly compressing air pumps and pumps. The top floor shows the top of the engine. One engine was repainted and the other maintained. Keeping up the contrast. Continued to the inside is the Victorian gate, which is also engraved with signs and five shields (coats of arms). The garden outside the door provides a place for former workers to relax. The empty underground in the distance is where sewage is stored. The guide shows us the scenes of the underground workers checking and repairing. In several factories around, there are people maintaining and painting the machines that were once there. Finally, the staff said that for the continuation of the sewage treatment museum, they are still raising funds to continue the renovation. At present, there are still workers in the museum to maintain and repair the old. The whole English explanation, no Chinese interpreter, about an hour and thirty minutes. A very detailed introduction to the British steam era, recommend everyone to study and visit. Please check carefully when booking guided tour , sometimes the pump station will open to show visitors the engine during operation.
