Image: © Elliott Simpson Taken: 16 Feb 2006
Part of the stationary engine used on an incline on the Canterbury - Whitstable railway in the 1830s - presently located behind the castle in Gas Street I was informed that this photo was used to help persuade the local authority to take the historic cylinder into care. A later photo - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5030348 - shows that it is no longer there.
