Private collection, Worle - marine engine
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 18 Jun 1988
This was a private collection in Worle that has since been disbanded and the site appears to have been cleared. This was the largest engine here and mounted on a lorry trailer so that it could be taken to events. This activity ceased as soon as it was realised it was so heavy it tended to bog down. It is an inverted vertical triple expansion engine from a Navy 'Fresh' class water carrier. It is now on display at Chatham Historic Dockyard but I have yet to scan an image of it there.
