A street corner inside this reasonably large works. I really can't remember what was through the open door but I suspect there were probably one or more working reciprocating steam engines through there. The site contained 7 steam engines driving exhausters, boosters and pumps along with some steam turbine drives. This kit was all hard at it in 1983 but is now a fading memory. Anybody wishing to see more can pm me (private message - not post mortem - just realised the potential confusion).
