WEB PAGES OF THE PRICKWILLOW ENGINE TRUST
The associated web pages of the Prickwillow Engine Museum (which is also managed by the Prickwillow Engine Trust) contain details of exhibits plus visitor and administrative information and can be accessed here.
The purpose of these pages is to provide both an historical and technical insight into the way the present Fenland landscape was created and how the area has been protected from inundation by water over the past four centuries.
To examine different aspects of this fascinating story, select a link from the menus on the left.
This section will evolve to provide a comprehensive reference source on various aspects of Fenland life through the centuries, of benefit to students and researchers.
SCHOOL VISITS & PROJECTS
School parties are particularly welcome (by prior appointment) and we have organised some themed 'workshop' projects to engage the interest of children, which include audio-visual presentations, re-enactments and 'hands-on' experiments. These are part of our educational service and arrangements for visits may be made through our Education Officer, who will be pleased to discuss your particular requirements.
Details of the themed projects and contact details for our Education Officer are available here .
