| Description | Kempton is home to two massive 1000-ton triple-expansion steam pumping engines, one of which has been restored and is now the largest working triple in the world. Installed in 1927, the two Worthington Simpson engines pumped 38 million gallons of water daily to North London until 1980. No photograph or video can do justice to the breathtaking sight of the world’s largest working triple-expansion steam engine in action. Come and see the huge 33-ton flywheels spinning round on their 30-ton crankshaft and watch the massive con rods rise and fall in rhythmic splendour. At 62 feet high, and weighing 1,000 tons each, the engines are each the size of a block of flats. |
