This is part of the facade of the main engine house that held a pair of Ashton, Frost triple expansion engines with both horizontal (HP) and inverted vertical cylinders (IP and LP). These were scrapped in the 1970s. The green beam is (I think) part of the support structure for the well pump bell-crank assembly. A modern fence prevents a view from further away and without a fish-eye this was the best I could do.
