Historic Water Supplies – Leominster

CANCELLED DUE TO CORONAVIRUS RISK, PLEASE READ THEIR FULL STATEMENT HERE.

This year the historic water supplies exhibition at the Waterworks Museum, Hereford focuses on Leominster and will tell the fascinating story of the history of water supply in Leominster.

Its water pumping station was built in 1865 after a typhoid outbreak that killed 38 people. 30 years ago, the water pumping station was saved from demolition and rebuilt by volunteers at the Waterworks Museum (now known as our ‘Tangye House’).

Established in 1974, the museum is an independent working museum concerned primarily, but not exclusively, with the story of the supply of water for public consumption from earliest habitation to the close of the 20th century.
