The grand Victorian building, designed by Stockdale Harrison (city architect in 1890) and beautifully decorated beam engines were a cause of great civic pride. The four steam engines were built in Leicester by Gimson and Company and today are rare examples of Woolf compound rotative beam engines. It continued pumping Leicester's sewage until 1964, and then underwent renovation. It opened as a museum in 1972. |
