All four of the site's 1891 Gimson beam engines can be seen in steam simultaneously to celebrate 50 years since the site closed as a working sewage pumping station. This was a special 'one-off' weekend event requiring a large hired in boiler to provide sufficient steam for a 5 hour run on the Sunday.
