The Musical Museum, Brentford
This has relocated from a damp old church to this excellent modern facility. The main focus is mechanical music from music boxes to a Wurlitzer cinema organ. This is a truly excellent little collection and the chairman is very enthusiastic. I would recommend a visit.

Inside Kew Bridge Steam Museum's Tower
A wooden staircase of about 200 steps leads to the summit of the tower at Kew Bridge Steam Museum. The view from the top is superb. This picture was taken about two thirds of the way up before the staircases really started doing crazy angles! http://www.waterandsteam.org.uk/

Standpipe Tower, Kew Waterworks
The tower contains large tall pipes that absorbed the surge of water from each stroke of the steam pumps to prevent damage to the mains. See
Image for internal shot.

Water wheel driven pump at Kew Bridge Steam Museum
A large pump of the type found on some estates. The water wheel is by Hindley of Bourton but I seem to recall the pump is Hathorn, Davey of Leeds (somebody will correct me).

The Standpipe Tower
In spite of appearances, this 200 foot tower is not a chimney stack; it houses two systems of vertical pipes through which water was pumped before it entered the mains water supply. The brick tower, of Italianate design, was constructed in 1867 to replace an earlier open metal lattice structure. It is a Grade I listed building now under the stewardship of The London Museum of Water and Steam.
