Industrial Heritage

Papplewick Pumping Station

One of the finest working Victorian water pumping stations in Britain. The site has undergone extensive restoration and once again stands proud as a spectacular example of Victorian craftsmanship.

Bestwood Winding Engine House

Set in the tranquil grounds of Bestwood Country park the winding engine house is a beautifully restored piece of our Victorian and mining heritage. Take the glass sided lift to learn more about how the engine worked and what life was like for a miner.

Interested in Mills, then why not visit:-

Greens Mill Windmill

This is a working windmill that produces its own organic flour. You can see how the flour is made by climbing to the different levels of the windmill.

Tuxford Windmill

Great to take a guided tour and if the wind is right, you’ll see the sails turning.

The Framework Knitters Museum

If you fancy trying your hand at knitting on a 19th century sock machine, then why not visit Ruddington Framework Knitters Museum. 

Walk around to see how a local Victorian community lived and worked, watch live demonstrations of their machines and see a collection of hosiery spanning 200 years.

Museums

Visit one of our many museums around Nottinghamshire, where you'll be able to take a step back in time into the counties history.
