Brentford from Kew Bridge
On the riverbank, beyond the houseboats, is part of an expensive-looking new development of apartments and penthouses, or so the billboard says. To the right is the tower of Kew Bridge Steam Museum, and to the left are the multistorey blacks of Brentford Towers. Compare with Image

Kew Bridge Steam Museum - Maudslay beam engine
This was installed here in 1838 by Maudslay Sons & Field of Lambeth at a tender price of £7550. The engine was converted to the higher pressure Cornish cycle in 1846-7. The engine has been extensively rebuilt over the years and was retired in 1944. It was restored to working order in 1985 and was the site's third Cornish beam engine to be returned to steam. The next major project was to be the Bull engine that is alongside in the same building.

Kew Bridge Steam Museum - Bull engine
The museum has now been rebranded as the London Museum of Water & Steam.
This is a view of the bottom end of the site's unique workable Bull pumping engine that was built in 1857. This view shows the engine at the top of the stroke with the pump plunger (bottom) about as close as it usually gets to the bottom of the main steam cylinder (top). The green beam does not transmit main pumping power but merely serves to operate the auxiliaries (air pump, feed pumps, valve gear and cataract).
This is the only workable Bull engine in the world and the museum has done its best to ensure the public can see as much happening as it feasible to allow. Ordinarily the lower workings would be hidden behind sliding screens or below the floor. This is the only engine that works as hard now as when it was in use. The weight of the pump plunger could not be reduced, so it pumps against a head that is the same as when in use.
