Pinchbeck Engine is a beam engine house dating from the early 19th century, located in Pinchbeck in south Lincolnshire. Built to serve the drainage requirements of the Fens, the engine represents the industrial application of steam power to the management of England's most extensive wetland landscape. The surviving structure demonstrates the engineering solutions developed during the period of intensive fen drainage and land reclamation that characterised Lincolnshire's agricultural expansion in this era. The engine house remains a significant example of the mechanical infrastructure upon which the transformation and exploitation of the Fenland environment depended.
