About Shore Road Pumping Station

The home of the Giant Grasshopper engine, a working example of the giant steam pumps built in the 1870's and used to clear water from the Mersey Railway Tunnel. A video presentation tells the story of the construction of the Mersey Railway Tunnel, the Pump and the building itself, and ends with a view of the Giant in action. A period 1901 Birkenhead Street scene completes the visit.
