Crampton Tower Museum
The museum is named after Thomas Russell Crampton (1816-1888) who is best known for his invention of the Crampton locomotive. A local engineer and inventor, Crampton was the first to build a reliable telegraph cable system under the English channel and was also responsible for the building of the first water system in town. The museum is housed in an old tower where you can see the pumping-engine shed and other remains of his water system. Exhibits include the Broadstairs Stage Coach, patents, working drawings, the Engine House and other forms of transport.Location
