This is not the steam museum. This is the powerhouse that provides electricity to the site in winter. The workhorse is the W H Allen steam turbine on the right. This is now in a walled off area with a Sisson engine. The two Belliss & Morcom engines are plumbed in but not used as there is no switch gear. The black one came from Fine Art Wallcoverings, Holmes Chapel and the blue one is from J & E Sturge, Selby. The site's owner, Mr V T Nuttall is peering in to the Sturge Belliss.
