| 説明 | The Crossness Pumping Station was part of the London Main Drainage scheme planned for the Metropolitan Board of Works by their Chief Engineer, Joseph Bazalgette (1819-91). It was opened by HRH the Prince of Wales on the 4th August 1865. The design of the building is often attributed to Bazalgette but is probably by Charles H. Driver (1832-1900). The contractor was William Webster who was also responsible for other major public works in London. The buildings were designed in a 19th century eclectic style that originated in Germany and is known as "Rundbogenstil" (round arched style). The bricks are "Suffolk Whites" with black and red bricks used in the arches.The four rotative beam engines are each 71 feet long, 75 feet high, 19 feet 6 inches wide and are the largest of their type in the world. Their original single-cylinder engines were built by James Watt & Co., Birmingham. They were converted into triple-expansion engines between 1900-1901, by Benjamin Goodfellow, Hyde, Cheshire. The engines were named "Victoria", "Prince Consort", "Albert Edward" and "Alexandra". Prince Consort was steamed again in 2003 and formally started by HRH the Prince of Wales in the same year. |
