Stretham Old Engine, this disused land drainage pumping station is scheduled as an Ancient Monument. Originally installed in 1831, it was restored by the Stretham Engine Trust. It contains a steam powered double-acting rotative beam engine, and is the last surviving complete example of its kind in the Fens.
