We are clearing out our storage sheds and have unearthed some hidden gems like this Amanco stationary engine. From 1912 Amanco imported engines from America but after 1928 the Bradford Gas Engine Co manufactured for the firm in Britain.

It's all happening at the Pumphouse this Sunday! Not only are we hosting the Contemporary Cask Fest E17 Beer Festival, but it's also our monthly engine running day! The Victorian horizontal engines will be running at 12 and 2. Sounds like a perfect day out, right?
If you find yourself in Lancashire we highly recommend a visit to the marvellous Bolton Steam Museum. It is entirely run by enthusiastic volunteers who have restored a huge collection of engines to their former glory. This engine is running on electricity but there a few days throughout the year when you can see the machines run on steam.

We have just received a copy of the magazine from the
@HEWING_WITTARE @E17ArtTrail project, which contains a collection of wonderfully varied stories about the Stow and its residents. We contributed some anecdotes about John Fieldhouse, one of the Edwardian engineers at Walthamstow Pumphouse, so it's great to see them in print. Let's hope this exhibition gets the future life it deserves.

It's the perfect weather for remembering pioneering cookery writer and teacher Agnes Marshall, who died #OTD in 1905. Born in #Walthamstow in 1855, she patented an ice cream making machine in 1885 and published an early recipe for an edible ice cream cone.

This poster shows Temple Mills freight yard near Leyton and was used to promote British Railways' modernisation programme in the 1950s. The artwork is by Frederick Donald Blake, who produced propaganda work as a war artist during WW2 and afterwards worked as a freelance designer for the aircraft industry and on road safety campaigns as well as exhibiting paintings in watercolours and oils.
