The site retains pumping-station fabric—including a 200-foot well—so engineering is part of the museum story.

Open hours are limited (Tuesdays and the last Sunday monthly), but there’s a lift to the first floor and a friendly café.

Hands-on ethos: many displays invite conversation and the odd carefully supervised handle.
