点评:We had some friends visiting from Germany who said they wanted to see Crossness pumping station, so I phoned to book a steaming day visit, the volunteer I spoke to was incredibly helpful in arranging this visit in advance
On the day, we arrived in the rain and rode the little train into the site, after a short walk we found ourselves in the main exhibition area. Seeing the enormous beam engine (Prince Consort) in steam was really something else. I expected it would be noisy in action, but it's really very quiet in operation, the massive beam tilting from side to side with huge piston rods attached. The volunteer guides are exceptional in their knowledge of the workings and history of the 4 great beam engines in the pumping hall, the decoration on the ironwork is stunning.
The exhibition celebrates the genius of the great SirJoseph Bazelguette and his engineering solutions for the Great Stink of 1856.
Exceptional demonstration in the exhibition area showing how all the sewage was pumped through the system saving stinky london from Cholera
Top grade visitor attraction, highly recommend it
翻译:有几位德国朋友来访,说想参观克罗斯内斯泵站,于是我打电话预约了蒸汽机一日游。联系到的志愿者非常热心,提前帮我安排了行程。
当天,我们冒雨抵达,乘坐小火车进入泵站,走了一小段路后,就到了主展区。看到巨大的蒸汽机车(Prince Consort)真是别有一番风味。我原以为它运转起来会很吵,结果它运转起来非常安静,巨大的蒸汽机车横梁通过巨大的活塞杆左右倾斜。志愿者导游对泵站大厅里四台大型蒸汽机车的工作原理和历史了如指掌,铁艺装饰更是令人叹为观止。
此次展览旨在颂扬伟大的约瑟夫·巴泽尔盖特爵士的天才之举,以及他为解决1856年伦敦大臭气而提出的工程解决方案。
展览区内精彩的演示展示了所有污水如何通过该系统排出,从而拯救了臭气熏天的伦敦,使其免遭霍乱的侵袭。
顶级景点,强烈推荐
