This is Pollit and Wigzell's standard three throw feed pump driven off the main engine next door. It was in the same space as the flywheel and rope driven alternator in the room next to the engine house. I visited this site quite a few times before the engine was finally removed in 1998 for re-erection at Markham Grange Steam Museum.
