About MIAG

The Medway Industrial Archaeology Group (MIAG) maintain and manage the Old Brook Pumping Station in Chatham, Kent. The station has a dual role as an interesting former public utility of the 1920's and as a building to house a collection of exhibits relating to the industrial history of Kent and especially the Medway Towns. 

MIAG is a voluntary group, with a small number of members. It has a management agreement with Medway Council to operate the Old Brook Pumping Station as an industrial museum illustrating the development of industry and public services in the Medway Towns.

We are made up of a small number of regular volunteers. Some of us have engineering skills, some are good at painting, some just want to drink tea and chat. Whatever your skillset is, we are always looking for new volunteers to help maintain exhibits, talk to visitors and help us keep the station open.
