Upper Cherry Garden Waterworks
Upper Cherry Garden Waterworks
It was an important site, being the first site in the UK to house Worthington non-rotative twin tandem triple expansion steam pumping engines. It also housed a workshop with steam engine and water turbine drive and the company museum with a good number of steam engines. All has been saved but it is spread around London and the south-east.
The Worthingtons were in the glazed section.
