    The Friends are volunteers who keep Ellenroad alive today by:
  • opening the site to the public on steaming days
  • operating the boiler and engines
  • running the bookshop and café
  • maintaining the buildings and machinery
In 2004, we received the machine tools from a 100-year-old workshop with an Allen steam generator to power it. There’s a room for the workshop, but we need a new building for the generator (and other exhibits!)

The Weir boiler feed pump and the Mather and Platt sprinkler pump (the largest still working) have usually been closed to the public. We’re now preparing their room for opening on steam days. There’s still a lot to do!

If you can help, please ask any staff member on a steaming day or contact the Membership Secretary.
