Welcome to
The Museum of Power
Keeping Industrial History
Alive & Working
Housed in a former Water Pumping Station, the Museum contains a fascinating collection which ranges from a working overhead machine shop to a petrol powered iron.
The jewel in our crown is the ‘Lilleshall’ triple expansion steam pumping engine ‘Marshall’ which runs on Steam for 6 big events throughout the year and on compressed air for all other events. A video can be found here.
On NON event days there is a small CHARGE for entry to the Museum, however it is FREE for you to explore our riverside walks or enjoy a cream tea in our Steam Pump Tea Room. Entrance fees for our EVENTS are shown on the web site Events Page. There is plenty to do and see for adults and children alike at the Museum of Power.
We are a dog friendly site – dogs are welcome indoors as well as in the Museum grounds, as long as they are on leads.
