The Engineerium - boiler tops
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 20 Nov 2011
The top of four 1934 built Lancashire boilers. On the right is the edge of a deadweight safety valve. The next fitting is the standpipe with its crown valve to let the steam out of the boiler. The next fitting is the combined lever arm safety valve and low water alarm. The manhole is furthest towards the rear. The far door provides access to the 1866 built No. 1 engine, which was out of bounds on this occasion.
