I’d love to see that, as it links in a way to my London’s water wander.

You've just missed a steaming day last Sunday at Crossness but you were away, there's another coming up in August but you're probably away for that too.

I attended an open day event earlier this year. The pumping station and the underground reservoir are fascinating examples of Victorian engineering. It's said the pumping station came under budget so the chief engineer was allowed to add the superb architecture and fittings. It was only years after the station was closed down in the 1969 and a trust took over the renovation that the public we give access, prior to that only council members and the workers saw the interior. Quite magnificent.

It’s on the list, as is Kempton’s huge steam engine.

But we digress.
