This is the coke oven gas booster house with a row of at least six reciprocating compressors. That closest was a Belliss and Morcom and diesel driven. I can't remember who built the others but they were electric motor drive. The driving motors are the other side of the wall on the left. This entire large complex is no more. Grid reference is approximate.
