Waddon Pumping Station Steam Engine by Geoffrey Hayes
Steam engines used to pump domestic water supplies to Croydon and associated areas as part of the Croydon Corporation Water Undertaking which was later later taken over and operated by Thames Water. The 1910 engine on its retirement on 23rd June1983 became the last steam engine in water supply service in the UK. Steam power was first used in 1713 for domestic water supply in London.
The buildings have been demolished but the two wells continue to supply water locally via electric submersible pumps. Both engines have been moved to museums where they are preserved and on public display.
The corporation also owned the Addington Well Pumping Station nearby which used rotative beam engines. Thes...

Markfield Road Sewage Pumping Station, Tottenham, London.
Very interesting engine! I’m hoping to visit it sometime this year
Someone suggested that the loom was stopped by the belt thrown onto an idler pulley. What caused it to stop when the weft broke or a warp thread ? Maybe a generator that also produced electric current also ? Or maybe the answer is that the steam powered looms were brought in after electricity was used but then why have steam at all ? No simple answer I can see. I know weaving rooms had over a hundred steam looms. And each had a separate belt for each loom. But how were they shut off when a problem arose is a mystery to me
Imagine how great it would be to work there back in the day. 😂
Astounding this exists and actually is functional.

I am very happy to have electricity.
Imagine one steam engine replaced by a couple hundred electric motors, what a savings. NOT!
Steam ships as well as steam tugs have there own smell it has to do with the steam and iron interaction, it is not fuel related.
We had these also in the 1800s..The Burlington mill I worked at still had the water tanks and a stream ran under the mill. It started out as the Gloria plant . Have no idea how they stopped individually. Didnt see any dropwires to stop the loom when a thread broke.
There might have been a lever on the loom itself.
Beautiful boat!
I visited Queen Street Mill as part of a tour group last year (2022). I'd never even heard of the place before. It's just fascinating.. We had an excellent guide to show us around and it sticks in my mind as the highlight of the holiday. I plan to visit again this year without the time pressures of a tour group. Excellent stuff.
I remember this mill well as I used to be taken in by my aunts before their shift started as the machines ran up to speed ... the noise remains with me today
Kaha ka hai ..i am macanical power loom
Timing gear kitne teeth ka hota hai loom ka
My favorite part of these old steam engines is how perfectly the crank shaft bearing oiler spins.
Dangerous.. random drug test every day at that place!
Mind properly boggled.
god bless this pump
Wow! Found this from Joel Create's video about IRL Minecarts.
Get the other one's running all together it's going to be a lot of hard work but honestly worth it a real spectacle for everyone trust me regards to the mighty crossness
Vandalism total vandalism for what , what's been gained nothing the engines should have been kept and run they would have been a asset to the entire area bringing enthusiasts in from the rest of the world honestly
sick !
2:47 They put guards around the gears at the ceiling but not on the machines on the floor.
I think those 'guards' are more for preventing grease/oil from being flung all over the place.
I bet wet wipes wouldn't block that up
T H I S , ladies and gentlemen boys & girls, is THE technology that gave us everything we have today. Steam power enabled mass production, which created an economic boom known as the Industrial Revolution, that made Great Britain the wealthiest and biggest empire in history, who spread this knowladge across the globe, whose mass productions principals all nations imploy today to create global wealth and progress.
Hello!simply beautiful, I am an industrial archaeologist and simply beautiful, I really love the textile factories of the nineteenth century. Many thanks for the video.
Well maintained 👍
The industrial accidents must have been horrendous back then.
Os ingleses montaram uma tecelagem no Brasil, cidade de Americana, SP em 1890....
I Love how the Brits are preserving and bringing back to life their industrial heritage, including once junked steam locomotives, etc.
I can just imagine what it would of sounded like in full power production with every machine being run.
deafness, that's what it sounds like
Amazing. Great job!
My, my, the number of looms in that room. Amazing
Imagine back in the day you had hundreds of men and women working hard in operating these machines on daily basis. It must been quite the site to behold.
This is the one of the wonder of world
Wonderful view of our passed technology. If you ever go back to visit Give the curator a big thank you for Me.
Lots of deaf people worked there...
When the camera moved to the room full of textile looms - jaw drops.
😢😢😭😭😭
2:15... All that powerful spinning machinery and loose clothing seems like a bad idea.
It’s a very sad scene, very empty, that’s what machines do to people put them out of job, I prefer to see people working there then just an empty place with no souls and just machines operating.
no chance for queen street mill it is dead just like fred debnahs place english so called heritage let freds place go now its all gone and empty leon pownsey tried his best to get english heritage to take on freds place just like queen street mill will be soon english heritage must be a down south company and know nothing of our northern roots pity and a shame they are only interested on whats on their own doorstep not bothered about the northern tourists so whats the point of english heritage we are told they have the money to save these historic places who is the head of english heritage who makes the decisions there ?
Interesting to see some familiar faces on board. Memories from my days living in Maldon and spending time on another TID tug - Chriane - now sadly gone.
Awesome place. Shame we don't have jobs like these anymore. Many were employed. I sure would have enjoyed a boiler room job and working on the steam engines. It should be preserved as a permanent museum. It's probably the last original mill left in the world. I remember this place in a Fred Dibnah show as well.
Not sure I'd call it a shame. Those machines were dangerous, and they worked really long hours.
@@michaelsirotti1198 yeah but it was good work something there is very little of now and it was good money. Maybe not in the middle 1800's but wages climbed. Now there's nothing..........
What a beautiful amazing machinery!
Get this turned into a museum because I say screw the bloody council this is a historical gem because as far as I know this mill may be the only one of its type that still has most if not all its original equipment
Since this video we now have 3 working engines
Dear Synchronoscope, the Museum of Power is about to start celebrating its 20th Anniversary of being open to the public. As part of the celebrations we are seeking to create a short video about the history and social impact of belt driven workshops similar to one we have and other uses. We would very much appreciate receiving your permission to utilising the belt driven workshop sections of your film to show the splendid other uses of these machines. Could I please ask for your help in e-mailing me via debbie.thomas@museumofpower.org.uk to advise if this would be OK or not - we are hoping to create/show the film by this Friday. Many thanks and best wishes, Debbie Thomas, Museum Manager, Museum of Power
Say hello if OSHA sent you.
I wonder how many people died working in mills like this one with all the exposed belts and rotating shafts......
@@adamtrue7691 that was one small portion of time that this mill operated. It would have operated many years with good pay, no children, and proper ventilation. Let's not play the lazy socialist card and claim all trade jobs were bad like when it all started out in the 1800's..........what have you have now, nearly no jobs and thousands sitting on their bum living off the few who are productive......
Truly incredible piece of equipment! I feel bad for the maintenance guy he mast have dreams about it. Belts, bearing, and gears, OH MY!😉
