Completed in 1928, the two Worthing Simpson triple expansion engines pumped 19 million gallons of water a day each, to a head of 200 feet.
The Kempton Park water treatment works were opened in 1897 with two holding reservoirs and 12 slow sand filter beds. Two Lilleshall triple expansion engines were used to pump water from the Thames to the reservoirs and three more to pump it to Cricklewood in North London. Steam came from 6 Lancashire boilers.
In 1902 the New River Company was acquired by the Metropolitan Water Board and the size of the site increased. By 1963 the site employed 144 men (most to polish the metal work, it would seem) and pumped 86 million gallons per day.
The Lilleshall engines where scrapped in 1968 but the Worthington Simpson Triples stayed in use until 1980. Electric pumps now run in the Lilleshall House and pump 75 million gallons a day with just 14 staff.
