This building housed a preserved beam engine and was purpose built for it. Talk about preserving your heritage! Sadly, it is no more and the beam engine is now at Ellenroad Engine house. the good news is that it is now steamable. Stanley Challenger Graham was responsible for the installation at Ellenroad and made a magnificent job of it.
