This is the site shown externally by Alan Murray-Rust Image The engine is a tandem compound that was built as a single by Cardwell (the only survivor) and compounded by Woodhouse & Mitchell of Brighouse. It is unusual in that it always appears to have run non-condensing. It was restored by Chris Evans and Paul Akrigg in the 1980s but has not run for over a decade. Sadly, Chris Evans passed away in November 2014 - a sad loss.
