Seen from the public road outside. I was aware this boiler had been advertised via e-bay as in the Evesham area but did not know where it was and discovered it entirely by accident. Although repurposed as a tank this is quite clearly a former externally fired egg-ended boiler. It is riveted and made from quite large plates although there is some evidence of repairs with smaller inserted plates. The brackets along the side would have supported it in the flue structure when used as a boiler. It looks like it did not sell as it is still here 12 months later. Amazing what you find when least expecting it.
