This is now the Fairground Heritage Centre and this little display of steam engines has been sold off. The big one on the left is a Robey diagonal duplex from Barracks Fabrics in Macclesfield and is now down in Tavistock with the Robey Trust. In the right foreground is a duplex capstan as found on many steam ships and visible between the two is a ship's steam steering engine. Visible above the capstan is a Hindley inverted vertical single cylinder 'Alcazar' engine mounted on an old lathe bed. There was also a larger inverted vertical single cylinder from a gasworks and I am not aware that this was sold on. Any further information would be welcome.
