This is the Lilleshall engine house that housed five Lilleshall inverted vertical triple expansion pumping engines. Scrapped in the 1970s to make way for the new electric pumps that replaced the big triple expansion engines in the building just visible on the right. The stopped late 1980. When the picture was taken one chimney had lost its ornamental cap but this was later reinstated.
