Another excellent open day at the waterworks - despite the grey skies the visitors and the exhibitors were not daunted - we welcomed 25 Morgan car owners along with a really good number of other vehicles from full sized and miniature steam to a wonderful variety of other vehicles too!

Many thanks to all who visited, exhibited and volunteered as always!

What an amazing bank holiday weekend!

The weather was perfect right up to the last minutes of today and the rain held off until we had taken down the marquee!

It was fantastic to welcome so many visitors through our gates and show the waterworks at its finest!

Very many thanks to everyone who visited, exhibited and volunteered - an excellent event all round and a great start to our 2026 open day season!

The site will feature demonstrations of the Hathorn Davey steam pumping engine and boilers, cutting-edge technology from the early 1900s.

01/05/2026

At the heart of the waterworks is the Hathorn Davey triple expansion engine running on superheated steam from the 1906 Babcock and Wilcox boiler. This engine could pump water to the reservoir high on the downs in addition to lifting water from the deep wells. As a visitor you can see both the boiler and engine in operation during open days (such as this Sunday and Monday - 3rd and 4th May).
