The collection owned by the late John Huish. This has now been dispersed and it appears the building housing it has been demolished. This is a US built high speed horizontal single cylinder engine. I had completely forgotten this was here and it probably came from the Burmah Castrol oil refinery at Ellesmere Port - Image A similar engine is dismantled in store at Astley Green Colliery.
