The Abbey Pumping Station Museum is a former sewage pumping station built in 1891 and contains four Woolf compound beam engines built by Gimson & Company of Leicester. The engines have been restored to working order by a team of volunteers, and the old pumping station is now the home to the Leicester Council industrial museum. One of the beam engines can be seen in steam at 04:37.
I will put together a video with some more clips of the beam engine running soon...
