Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum and Community Centre
The Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum is a registered charity focusing on local transport and industry and is centred around a Grade II listed Victorian pumping station known as the 'Pumphouse'. The museum opened in 1997 when a group of local enthusiasts came together to restore the Grade II listed Marshall engines and form the Friends of the Pumphouse. However, the idea of operating a museum on the site was mooted as early as the 1970s shortly after the engines went out of service. The site was historically known as Low Hall Farm and an ancient manor house stood there for many centuries until it was bombed in WWII. The site was part of a much larger council depot part of which is still in existence today.

The Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum is a registered charity focusing on local transport and industry and is centred around a Grade II listed Victorian pumping station known as the 'Pumphouse'. It is now under new management who are very community minded and have lots of plans to create a space for local activities and education workshops for the local people and need help to clear rooms, paint and clean. Good old fashioned goodgym task!

This week they are open 10am to 3pm for volunteers with lunch provided. Come along and help out.
