What a wonderful and inspiring story! My daughter is head of the education department at The Museum on the Mound in Edinburgh — and we have always had a passion for museums, especially of things and subjects (like money and “everyday” machines) that are so often missed in larger, state-run museums. Congratulations to all involved, and many thanks for their passion and dedication.

Greetings from Boston,

GA, what a delightful visit you had and shared about your visit to Walthamstow Pump House. The place is pristine. So interesting. May the work of these good folks continue. I particularly liked the models and the historic domestic appliances.

I was at technical college doing a secretarial course 1957/8, so nice to see the pictures.
Also lived in Forest Gate for many years.

Amazing!. it has a parallel in New Zealand at Auckland’s Western Springs. An old pump station of a similar design to that place was made into a little museum,But it soon became a hugely popular Big museum As the Museum of Transport and Technology,Or MoTaT . When I lived in Auckland in the 70’s the big pump wasn’t working and I often wondered if they would ever get it going.One highlight was to go there on the days they would fire up a lancaster (yes, a bomber) in the rather tight grounds of the museum. So it just goes to show what a group of keen volunteers can and will accomplish .
