Twyford Waterworks Open Day

Discover how the drinking water that's piped to all our homes has been pumped from deep within the Hampshire Downs for over 120 years!

Twyford Waterworks will be open to the public on Sunday 7th August where as much of the site will be open and in operation as possible! Come and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of a working Edwardian Waterworks!

It is planned that the following will be available for visitors to see:
– Majestic Hathorn Davey steam pumping engine at work utilising steam from the Babcock and Wilcox boiler.
– Large Ruston diesel pumping engines with one running at various times during the day
– 1895 Crossley gas engine and other smaller pumps in operation
– Lime Kilns and water softening works, including the hydraulic (water powered) engines working
– Nature trail with pond and hide
– Industrial railway being demonstrated

The Tea Room will be serving a variety of light refreshments alongside a BBQ.
