This museum is housed in an original power station building that housed Belliss & Morcom high-speed reciprocating steam engine. It is therefore very fitting that the same room is now home to a preserved example from the Cape hill Brewery (now demolished) of Mitchell & Butler. Note the original overhead travelling crane on columns with ornate capitals.
