This was an excellent tourist attraction that sadly closed some years ago and the collection was dispersed. This land drainage pump and a similar one alongside it (just visible in the background) were relocated to Preston near Canterbury and are for sale. They appear in a Geograph of that site Image They are similar to those surviving at Westonzoyland and Curry Moor in Somerset.
