Join us for an exclusive visit to the Galton Valley Pumping Station led by historian Dr Simon Briercliffe.
History fan? Or a heritage newbie? Everyone is welcome invited on this exclusive visit to the Galton Valley Pumping Station. Closed since 2019, the Pumping Station is opening its doors once more, just for us!
Built in 1892 to pump water from the new mainline canal to the higher, older canal, Galton Valley Pumping Station was in use until the 1920s. An important site in the rich industrial heritage of Smethwick, the pumping station now serves as a canal heritage centre and museum.
Join Dr Simon Briercliffe for an exclusive visit to the station and learn about the Victorian history of Smethwick and the role it played in the Industrial Revolution.
These visits are designed to tie in with our Valley of Industry guided heritage walks, which can be booked separately
