HOD 2024 – Dogdyke Steam and Diesel Pumping Station.

Part of the Lincolnshire HODs Festival 2024

Dogdyke Pumping Station is typical of many that could be found in the Fens, keeping the land drained. The site is complete with the engine attendant’s cottage, which now houses a refreshment room and small museum of land drainage. The steam powered beam engine, built by Bradley and Craven of Wakefield in 1856, will be at work. It is the last example of an operating scoop wheel pump in the UK. Also at work is the 1940 Ruston and Hornsby 7XHR type oil engine and a Gwynnes’ centrifugal pump, both made in Lincoln. In addition there is a display of farm equipment, bygones and vintage vehicles
