This is a horizontal tandem compound condensing mill engine by Holborow of Dudbridge, Stroud in 1894. The slide valve cylinders are 8" & 14" x 16" and it was used to assist a waterwheel at The Pin Mill in Charfield until about 1950. The flywheel is 70" and there is an adjoining rope pulley 42" diameter. It was rated at 80 bhp at 100 rpm on steam at 100 psi. It is seen here in the collection of the late John Huish at Worle. This site has now been demolished and the engine is at the Brecon Mountain Railway - Image
