Quality Assessed Visitor Attraction
The first thing you'll see is the 150-foot tall chimney that towers over Leicester’s fine Victorian pumping station. The solution to the city's sewage problems were the four magnificent beam engines that reside here, all restored to full working glory. As well as the engines there are exhibits on the history of science, industry, transport, health and hygiene. Add to that a collection of vintage vehicles, and a narrow-gauge railway, and what else could you ask for? A sensory garden? Oh, there's one of those too.
