Crofton Boiler Appeal

Crofton Beam Engines Need Your Help

Crofton Beam Engines need your help. If we are to steam again in 2022, we need to carry out work on the boiler. It will cost around £30,000. Once this is completed, we would not expect any further major work for around ten years. So please help us raise the funds to meet these costs.
