The late Chris Evans restored the tandem compound steam engine at Providence Mill in the early 1980s and acquired other engines for display. This is a Marshall inverted vertical single cylinder that looks to have been used as a test engine. Its current location is unknown as the smaller engines from here were subsequently dispersed and the mill engine hasn't been run for many years.
