Markfield Beam Engine and Museum

When the machine was operational it had a working speed of 16 rpm and each pump could move 2,000,000 imperial gallons (9,100,000 L; 2,400,000 US gal) a day.[5][6] The engine is finely decorated, with doric style columns and acanthus leaves.[2] In 1970, the River Lee Regional Park Authority took a lease on the engine house, and a group of volunteers took on the task of restoring the engine, coming together as the River Lee Industrial Archaeology Society.Over £3 million has been spent on restoring the engine, building and surrounding grounds, a full restoration of the park was completed by April 2010, and the park, museum, and beam engine re-opened for public access.[3] The museum is open on Sundays and Bank Holidays, and the engine is now occasionally run for public display.
