Museums

Denham Marine Museum

Roger of Denham Marine has set up a small museum of half a dozen restored vintage static engines. Most of them are Listers of the type used to power water pumps and agricultural machinery, though there is a wonderful 6 cylinder engine from a boat which hadn't run for 50 years before Roger worked his magic on it. He had some of them runing on Sunday afternoon - what wonderful noises!
