Alderford Mill (2025)
Essex
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 the crown is the 'Lilleshall' triple expansion steam pump now back in steam after 50 years. Also 7.25 inch gauge miniature railway, 400 yards in length, which runs on certain days.
