Museum of Power

The Museum of Power is situated in a former Southend Waterworks pumping station, built in the 1920s to house three large steam pumps that were necessary to supplyt treated water through a pipeline to Southend-on-Sea.

The steam pumps were shut down in 1963 following the construction of a new electric-powered pumping station located a short distance away. While two of the pumps were dismantled and sold, the water company wisely decided to retain the newer of the engines. This engine, known as 'Marshall,' is a Lilleshall triple expansion steam pump that has now been restored to operate under steam power once again after 50 years.
