About

Join a guided tour to discover more about the industrial past of Crofton's corner of Wiltshire for FREE!

Built between 1807 and 1809, the Pumping Station supplied water to the highest point of the Kennet & Avon Canal which links London and Bristol. It is a rare survivor of the Industrial Revolution and houses the oldest working Beam Engine in the world, still capable of carrying out its original task in its original location.

Though the Station won't be in Steam, visitors will have the opportunity to join a one hour tour throughout the Station, led by dedicated knowledgeable volunteers, to learn the fascinating history and engineering of the site.

Tour Times: 11am, 12noon, 1pm, 2pm and 3pm (Booking is recommended to secure your place).
