Not sure how many of you would have visited Crossness but it was built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette as part of the Victorian sewage system for London and opened in 1865. It's a grade 1 listed building and has some outstanding Victorian features as well as still housing the four original pumping engines thought to be the largest rotative beam engines in the world.
I've had the pleasure of visiting the building myself on one of their open days and it's definitely something to do if you're into engineering of this kind. Well... it will be something to do if the Crossness Engines Trust can raise the £458,000 needed in order for work to be done and the asbestos issues resolved so they can reopen again!
Visit www.crossness.org.uk if you'd like to learn more about this fascinating building. There are a few photos on their website of the Victorian styled interior but I'll have a look over the next few days to see if I can dig out the photos I took while I was there to share with you all.
