This collection has now been dispersed so showing its location no longer poses a security risk. One can see part of a steam roller and two stationary steam engine - a horizontal single cylinder engine from a gas works and an inverted vertical rotative pump. On a later visit the roller had been replaced with a portable overtype engine. We saw the stationary engines running on compressed air.
