This was operated by Job Beaumont until 1976. There was a 1903 J & E Wood horizontal tandem compound steam engine that I think was perpendicular to the white bit. That was, I think, the end of the engine house and the door led to the boiler (a big modern package job). This was where I saw my first ever in situ stationary steam engine - in 1976 - and I haven't looked back since with over 1100 steam power sites behind me.
