Two extremely helpful young men were manning the desk. The exhibits were of excellent quality, and the information boards ideal. Got completely lost in time. Really good value at £3.50. Felt I had really stepped back in time in the lovely atmosphere of the House

A very interesting and historically important collection of machinery and equipment related to clean water supply. It was a thrill for me to see the UK's oldest triple expansion steam engine working and next to it a beam engine , beautifully preserved and presented. All other exhibits interesting, varied and great to see many of them operating. Lots of information provided about each exhibit and there are "hands on" demonstration models as well which all make it very educational.The volunteer staff were friendly and were happy to answer my questions. And on my visit, the museums exhibitions were supplemented by a lovely display of engines and vintage vehicles provided by the Hereford and District preservation society. I think the UK is unique in the amount of heritage (of all types) it has preserved and accessible to the public. And this working museum is a fine example of that trend. Very good value for money as well.
