After a 2 to 3 year closure due to subsidence the Brook pumping statiion in Chatham is re-opening. About three years back the West facing wall and foundations shifted and it was closed to the public. It has now been repaired and is open to the public again on a Tuesday and later in the year on a saturday. I believe entrance is free. The last time I went they started and ran the big gas engine for me, there are other exhibits like pumps and a Road Roller and some winches. The building is situated towards the East end of the Pentagon Car Park which is the best place to visit from.

I have to correct the opening times for the above Pumping Station.

The times of opening are from 11am till 3pm on the FIRST Sat urday of each month and then from June till September it is open every Saturday.
