Crossness Pumping Station, Belvedere Road SE28 - Bexley
Opened 1865; the engineer was Joseph Bazalgette. The building retains important cast iron interior fittings and four colossal beam engines by James Watt and Co. Opened to the public in 2016 as a heritage attraction following restoration funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic England and others. Run by the Crossness Engines Trust, who have restored one of the engines to working order. Concerns about structural issues have limited public access. Listed Building Consent has been obtained for repairs to localised cracks to the cast iron in the Engine House.
