The Ram Brewery, now closed, was home to a pair of magnificent Wentworth Woolf compound beam engines dating from 1835 and 1867. This is the older engine. Although they had not been used commercially for some years they were maintained in operable condition and I saw them run several times. They are listed and retained but I do not know whether they are accessible.
