The London Museum of Water and Steam will begin critical restoration work, supported by a £2.63 million government grant, complemented by a successful crowdfunder campaign. This funding aims to restore the Great Engine House which houses the world's largest Cornish beam engines, making the museum's significant historical structure watertight and improving safety by removing hazardous materials. The museum celebrates the engineering ingenuity related to London's water supply, showcasing steam engines that operated until 1958. The director emphasizes the importance of preserving this historic site for future generations.
"At the London Museum of Water & Steam, we celebrate the remarkable story of human ingenuity, innovation, and engineering, aiming to enthuse our audiences for the cause for clean, equitable water."
"This funding is vital in safeguarding an amazing historic building that incorporates some massive and awe-inspiring engines. We are thrilled that our significance and story will be secured for the future wellbeing and inspiration of our communities."
