Two Victorian engineering heritage museums in north-east London, Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum and Markfield Beam Engine and Museum, have been merged under a new trust organisation.
The newly formed Heritage and Communities Trust will oversee both museums as well as two attractions at the Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum: the Tool House (a community maker space) and Supperclub.tube (a pop-up dining experience in a decommissioned Victoria Line carriage), with plans for further growth in the future.
The museums – which are situated either side of Walthamstow Reservoirs – will retain their individual names and distinct identities. It is hoped that they will benefit from the unified governance structure and resulting shared resources and expertise. Both museums will remain free to visitors.
