Brede Steam Giants

An amazing place to visit giving one an insight into the past. The presentation of the huge engines is superb and best of all they all are operational. The staff are friendly always keen to show and explain things. Brede is one of must visit places.

A great insight into engineering on an old and impressive scale with a few very large water pumps. Also lots of small scale pumps and engines lovingly kept in working condition by a team of enthusiasts. Opening times are restricted so check before visiting.

Two stunning huge steam engines. Well worth the visit. Very friendly volunteers

Very interesting collection of machinery relating to the water works including two enormous steam engines which pumped water from deep down in the ground. All the staff are very willing to answer questions and a small tea bar offers tea and cakes. A very interesting visit and would recommend for all ages. And just in case they have a nuclear bunker on site!

This museum is a 100% golden jem of a museum in every way. How these pumps and engines where ever designed and built and moved there in the day and still work and run as if they are new. Guides where very good to talk to and show you around. A good cafe with very good cakes. I would go again to look round.

This is a hidden gem their are two giant triple expansion steam engines that are running on compressed air and lots of smaller engines some running others static a great little café with very knowledgeable and helpful volunteers that love to talk about the history of the site then there's the nuclear bunker well preserved and worth a look they only open the first Saturday of every month and admission is free

We visited the bunker today ( Nov ) and we really enjoyed are Time here are fav part was the bunker

Absolutely amazing place. The volunteers are all so friendly and knowledgeable. Incredible history. All for free too. Do make a donation though and buy some refreshments as it helps keep the place going 😊
