Worlds largest rotative beam pumping engine. Built in 1865 by the James Watt Co. Part of Joseph Bazelgettes intercepting sewer system of 1865, Crossness pumping station in SE London houses 4 such engines only one of which is restored and running. At the start of the film you see a small "baring" engine, used to position the large beam engine prior to starting. Crossness Pumping station also has a very decorative cast iron interior, as can be seen in this film. For more info or to arrange a visit please visit www.crossness.org.uk Filmed using a Canon S3
