London Water & Steam Museum (Kew Bridge)

On Saturday, June 24, the EIL students along with Profs. Berry and Parsons visited the London Museum of Water and Steam (formerly Kew Bridge Steam Museum) at Kew Bridge. They witnessed the startup of the Bolton and Watt Engine that was built in 1820 and moved to Kew Bridge in 1840. They were also shown the natural gas heated boiler used to produce the steam for all the engines in the Museum.  Before leaving the Museum, the students competed in a handheld boiler competition.
