The Engine House public house, Burgass Road
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 1 Mar 1981
This public house was built on the site of The Nottingham Patent Brick Company (see -Image) and incorporated this rather large and old horizontal single cylinder steam engine. This was possibly c1850 and installed secondhand in 1868 and worked here for 98 years - a very creditable performance. The cylinder is 21" bore x 66" stroke and the flywheel is 16' diameter and had been adapted for rope drive. The engine was removed from the pub in 1982 and is being slowly re-erected at Nottingham Industrial Museum.
