Pinchbeck Engine
The Pinchbeck Engine is a drainage engine, a rotative beam engine built in 1833 to drain Pinchbeck Marsh, to the north of Spalding, Lincolnshire, in England. The engine discharged into the ''Blue Gowt'' which joins the River Glen at Surfleet Seas End.
==Museum==
In 1952 the engine was rendered obsolete by modern electric pumps, and stood forgotten until being opened to the public as a museum in 1979. The coal store was cleared and now houses the associated Museum of Land Drainage. The museum complex includes the blacksmith's shop, still in its original condition. The museum is operated by the Welland and Deepings Internal Drainage Board,〔(Welland and Deepings IDB )〕 successors to the commissioners who erected the engine. The buildings are Grade II listed and also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The Chimmey was demolished in 1952, and no actions were taken to preserve the boiler, which is no longer in a fit state to be used. The engine is a static exhibit, which can be rotated by an electric motor for demonstration purposes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Spalding Guardian )〕
