Glenruthven Mill - boiler
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 4 May 1982
A Penman of Glasgow Cornish boiler built in 1949 and pressed to 60 psi. The engine it supplied had stopped in 1980. The engine was later operated in preservation for a period but if I recall correctly it was supplied with steam from a vertical boiler outside the original boiler house. Sadly, the mill is now a business park and the engine is cold, dead and only viewable on request.
