Coleham Pumping Station to host its first open day in over 4 years on Saturday 12 December.

Running from 10am - 4pm, the Christmas-themed event will see the Victorian built 1901 museum open, Cornish Boiler operational in steam, live steam beam engines running, steam pumps and machinery running, underground tours and history and engineering talks and tours.

The event is family and dog friendly and there will be a tea and cake stall to enjoy.

"As we move forward and reopen to the public we are in need of public help to raise funds to help cover our running costs for 2027, our insurance and coal cost alone is around £3000 per year, you can now donate via the ‘Donate’ button on our page or the link on this post. Thank you from all the members at Shrewsbury steam trust who have put many hours in over the last 4 years to reopen Coleham Pumping Station to the public."
