Museum Spotlight - The River Don Engine

Join Eddy Foster, Head of Historic Engineering as he talks us through the history and operation of Kelham Island Museum's mighty River Don Engine. Built by Davy Brothers of Sheffield in 1905, this visitor favourite is the most powerful working steam engine in Europe. Our Spotlight series takes a look behind the scenes at Sheffield Museums. Explores stories from across the museums, the collections they house, and our work to care for them. Visit Kelham island Museum to experience the roar and rumble of this massive 425 ton engine in person - it's in steam twice daily at 12noon and 2pm, Thursday-Sunday.
