The Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum is a museum based in Walthamstow, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is based in and around Low Hall Pumping Station, a Grade II listed building, originally built as a sewage pumping station in 1885.[1] [2]
The museum focuses on the pioneering breakthroughs in road, rail, air and sea transport, that occurred in Waltham Forest and the surrounding area,. These achievements include the first British motorcar[3] and the first all British aircraft, which first flew from Walthamstow Marshes.[4]
The museum displays various artifacts, including AEC Routemaster buses, a pair of Marshall C class steam engines,[5] and various fire fighting vehicles.
