Visitors to the pumping station museum can step back in time and witness a crucial piece of Somerset Levels history. The museum showcases the original 1831 pumping station, a pioneering effort in flood control, and its remarkable 1861 Easton & Amos drainage machine, a powerful and innovative piece of Victorian engineering. This Grade II* listed building, with its still-functional engine, offers a unique glimpse into the technological advancements that transformed the landscape and the ongoing battle to manage water levels in the region. It’s a testament to the ingenuity and impact of early drainage systems.
