Historische Dampfmaschinen in Lincolnshire

Die Dogdyke Pumping Station in Lincolnshire, Großbritannien, ist ein historisches Wahrzeichen, das sich auf die Entwicklung und den Betrieb von Dampfmaschinen zur Entwässerung von Landflächen spezialisiert. Die Station wurde ursprünglich 1856 in Betrieb genommen und war ein entscheidender Bestandteil des landwirtschaftlichen Entwässerungssystems in der Region. Sie verwendete eine Dampfpumpe, die den sogenannten „Scoop Wheel“-Mechanismus antrieb, um Wasser von den Flächen zu entfernen und so die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung in einem ansonsten feuchten Gebiet zu ermöglichen.

Entwässerungssysteme im 19. Jahrhundert

Besonders beeindruckend ist die noch heute funktionierende Bradley- und Craven-Dampfmaschine, ein Exemplar von besonderem historischen Wert. Besucher können erleben, wie die Dampfmaschine in Aktion tritt, ein seltenes Ereignis, das die industrielle Ingenieurskunst des 19. Jahrhunderts lebendig werden lässt. Das Museum bietet nicht nur einen Einblick in die Geschichte dieser Technik, sondern auch in die sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der Entwässerung auf die Region.

Great to see the original steam engine and the replacement diesel engine running. A lot of effort has been made by the volunteers that run the pumping station to make it a great place to visit.

Very Lincolnshire! Lindy Hop dancing on the grass, military vehicles display, vintage vehicles, refreshments with no charge just a donation (best Victoria sponge ever). This was an "event" day so don't expect this every time you go! Without the added entertainment this is still a great place to visit. Please support the volunteers who keep it running.

An incredibly well preserved piece of heritage. The Open Days are a must, with volunteers who are extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Everything is free - including parking, teas and cakes - but generous donations, necessary to support the charity that is responsible for the site, are encouraged and welcomed.

Well preserved and well kept historic pumping station. All the volunteers were super friendly and approachable plus had fantastic knowledge of the history and workings of the pump. Brilliant little museum alongside to give a bit more history of the local area and how the area has evolved. I can also recommend the little cafe as the tea and ginger cake were excellent !

Very helpful for explanations. Plenty volunteers who knew about the pumping station. Lovely little museum plus the working machines. They sold cakes and drinks, second hand sales and a tombola.

A great museum and good to hear and smell the steam engine as it's in operation. There's a small little exhibition as well that tells the story of the families that operates the pump and of how it all happens. Great to go and see.

A fantastic little museum to visit. The steam beam engine and heavy oil engines were both running when we were there, and the volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable.

Its a hidden gem if you like history and a sense of what we owe to the determination and muscles of an earlier generation! Big landscape, big skies and water all around: pumped and moved by diesel and genuine steam engines. Very friendly, helpful and relaxed volunteers.. and nice cake!
