The steam engines were once used to draw water from below the valley floor to supply much of the Hastings area.

Also open will be a cold war nuclear bunker in the valley.

Admission to the event is free and there is ample free parking. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.

The waterworks are situated in the Brede Valley and signposted from the A28 at the top of Brede Hill by St George’s Church.

John Foxley, from the Society, said: “Please come along and enjoy the atmosphere of water pumping heritage engineering at it’s British best.”
