Dogdyke Pumping Station, Tattershall, Lincolnshire
Dogdyke steam drainage station was built in 1856 to replace the existing wind-driven pump to drain a large area of farmland between the rivers Bain and Witham.
The engine, which runs in steam on all the Open Days, is the original external condensing beam-engine built by Bradley and Craven of Wakefield.
It is possibly the oldest steam-driven scoop wheel pumping set in the country that is still in steam in its original position.
Admission is free but please consult the website for opening times.
