A pair of inverted vertical compound enclosed steam engines built by Belliss & Morcom, Birmingham in 1964 and standby until 1977. They were removed or scrapped in 1988-90. Large machines of 578 bhp each and direct coupled to alternators running at 375 rpm. The boiler house was through the door on the left and I might scan and post in due course.
