The vertical boiler from Holland used to supply steam to the site's horizontal single cylinder engine by E S Hindley of Bourton, Dorset. Alongside is a small horizontal duplex non-rotative steam pump to feed the boiler. Unfortunastely the boiler was not working on this occasion due to a technical issue. That was a shame as it's a fair drive from Worcester to discover nothing's happening - still Westonzoyland later in the day was worth a look.
