This
place
it
was
on
my
wishlist
for
a
very
long
time
and
I
got
to
visit
there
a
few
months
ago.
After
we
have
parked
we
have
been
transferred
to
the
pumpng
station
by
a
small
train.
The
history
behind
the
crossness
pumping
station
is
amazing
with
a
lot
of
information
and
maps
to
read
and
understand
the
whole
history
behind
it.
The
place
transforms
the
visitor
back
to
the
18th
century
when
all
the
workers
there
were
lived,
all
around
the
pumping
station.
They
had
their
own
school,
chapel
and
playing
grounds.
The
building
is
well
maintained
and
is
been
run
by
volunteers.
The
colours
of
the
decor
is
just
how
it
would
have
been
in
the
Victorian
times.
There
are
another
2
outbuildings
which
the
one
at
the
far
end
it
houses
the
maintenance
department
full
of
equipment,
for
repairing
machines
onsite
and
the
the
one
at
the
front
it
houses
different
engines
from
different
eras.
Some
of
these
engines
were
running
while
we
were
there
which
was
great
to
see.The
volunteers
are
always
there
to
answer
any
questions
you
have.
I
would
definitely
go
back
for
another
visit
as
is
an
outstanding
building
with
so
much
history
behind
it.
