Kew Bridge Steam Museum has an extensive archive covering steam pumping engines and the water supply industry, focusing largely on the history of London's water supply.  The Museum has tried to collect material directly relating to water supply and it’s associated technologies, and in particular steam power. Much of the material in the archive is of a technical nature, documents which can give detailed insights into the engineering standards and practices of the times. However oral history interviews with former employees give more personal impressions of what life was like at the waterworks, and historic staff lists and staff magazines are increasingly accessed by researchers interested in local and family history.More details of our archive collection are available in our Archive Guide. We welcome researchers and will be happy to arrange a session with one of our archivists. To book an appointment, please contact the museum at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
