Reviews of Markfield Beam Engine and Museum
A. C.Sewage pump from 1888, restored as a museum. Went on a day when the engine was running. Definitely worth seeing, very informative and in an amazing state of upkeep - I definitely can't agree with a previous reviewer's cleanliness complaint! The volunteers were very friendly and knowledgeable and clearly cared about the site. Visit took 30-45 min although the underground section was closed when I went. No longer a working sewage facility and smells are not a concern.
R. L.Interesting museum preserves a historical sewage bumping engine from 100 years ago.
Recommend to come on open days where the engine will be on and showcase you how it works. This place really deserves more people to visit.
L. J.Attend if you can on a "Steaming" day and experience stepping back into a magical age of steam and expierience Victorian engineering at it best.
Whats more its Free!
Nice little coffee shop next door too.
R. M.Fascinatingc and impressive demonstration of old engineering. Some real enthusiasts showed us around and explained things. There's a tea shop and children's playground close by.
J. L. B.Lovely visit today. Super nice and knowledgeable staff walked us around and we learnt a lot.
W. C.Staff/Volunteers were friendly and informative.Beam Engine was very interesting to see how it works.Definitely worth a visit.
A. S.Great place, going downstairs was particularly interesting.
M. G.An interesting place to visit especially if you can get there on a day the beam engine is working (check their website for dates). Easy access from Tottenham Hale station, pleasant walk along the river. It's also nice to combine this visit with a bike ride or walk.
M. S.This museum might be small, but its strength is in the beautifully restored machinery within it, and the care and enthusiasm of the staff (volunteers) on site. The sights, sounds and smells all make for a memorable experience, sometimes verging on the theatrical.
A friend and I were given what felt like a personalised tour, in spite of a large number of other visitors there at the same time. I'd say this venue makes a great destination for lovers of engineering. It's well worth a visit and, for bonus marks, the cafe next door is decent, too.
V. M.Very nice park where to have a walk. There is a small playground for kids. There is also a Bar which sells ice cream and a huge steam engine nearby.
The park is not too big.
Unfortunately, there are lots of big trucks going on the only way to get to the park. It can get very dusty sometimes.
D. O.If you like Victorian architecture and engineering then you'll love this. Very friendly staff who know their stuff and are genuinely enthused to show you the whole thing. The guy who showed us around actually grew up on the site and knows so much about it. Well worth a visit and I'll definitely return some day the engine is actually running
D. F.Rare surviving 19th century beam engines. Check website for details of days they are in steam. This is an awesome experience, particularly if you have never seem a beam engine working. Guaranteed to reduce children to awed silence for a while!
And its free as well!
Nice cafe next door.
C. J.ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EXHIBIT. EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE STAFF.
j. b.Check for opening days and steaming up weekends. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and willing to show people around closed bits. Displays are available showing the history and workings of the pump. Cafe next to it for refreshments.
I. F.Volunteer led museum with nice touch of local history and impressive beam engine. Come for the steam day, usually bank holidays!
S. E. J.Excellent venue. Good to see the engine steaming.
D. B.Like Tower Bridge, this is another piece of brilliant Victorian engineering, lovingly maintained and in perfect working order. Well worth a visit, especially on a steaming day....
N. L.Another hidden gem, not widely known about. Staffed by friendly enthusiastic volunteers willing to chat and share their knowledge. Well turned-out and smooth-running.
