Non Steaming Days

Crofton Beam Engines on a non steaming day offers a unique and equally enriching experience. The tranquillity of the setting, combined with the historical significance and intricate mechanics of the beam engines, provides a captivating journey through time. On non steaming days, visitors have the opportunity to admire the beam engines in a state of serene dormancy. The polished brass and iron components glisten under the gentle light, revealing the meticulous care taken to preserve these mechanical marvels. One of the highlights of visiting Crofton on a non steaming day is the availability of our knowledgeable volunteers who can help explain to visitors the history and functionality of the beam engines. They offer a wealth of information, from the engineering principles behind the engines to the stories of the people who operated and maintained them. On Non Steaming Days, visitors are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy overlooking the canal and railway. Site & Engine House open 10:30 Engine House close 15:00 Site close 16:00
