This large hospital at Old Langho has now been demolished and replaced by Brockhall Village. Although only a few weeks from final closure the boiler house and adjoining power house were in excellent order. These are the boiler feed pumps. Originally there were two identical G & J Weir simplex pumps built in 1938 but the one on the left has been replaced by duplicated motor driven pumps. The one on the right is clearly not in use on closer examination as its steam plumbing is incomplete.
