Power House, Brockhall Hospital
The main focus is a Belliss & Morcom inverted vertical compound (enclosed) steam engine driving an alternator. Beyond it are the duplicated electric boiler feed pumps and the Weir steam feed pumps. The rather orange pipe on the extreme left is to a steam turbine fire pump. This site is now flat

This was on the wind-down to closure and is probably completely gone by now.

Brockhall Hospital power house
This large hospital at Old Langho was largely closed but the boiler house and kitchens were still active, although closure was imminent. This little room near the base of the chimney had originally housed a Belliss and Morcom steam engine driving an induced draught fan. It latterly housed this turboalternator as a backup power supply that was not really run in. It is now doing service at Markham Grange Nurseries where waste wood provides steam to generate the power needed to run the nursery. Excess is exported to the grid.
The unit was built by APE Allen Ltd of Bedford in 1982 as works No. T5/57826 and developing 200kW.

Brockhall Hospital power house
This large hospital at Old Langho was closed but the boiler house was still in use until the kitchens at the new site were commissioned. This happened about 2 months later and this site was cleared and is now Brockhall Village. This is the power house and contained six calorifiers, five turbine driven circulating pumps, a steam fire pump, a steam driven alternator and the boiler feed pumps.
On the left of this view the red casing is the fire pump that was built by Worthington Simpson in 1938 and powered by a steam turbine by the Mirrlees Watson Company, Glasgow. Next along, the green device is a Belliss & Morcom inverted vertical compound (enclosed) steam engine driving a General Electric company alternator. The engine is a V10s with cylinders 14.5" and 21" bores x 9" stroke. It developed 220 horsepower at 428 rpm. It ran as a back-pressure engine with the exhaust steam in the orange pipes being used to heat the calorifiers (an energy efficient way of doing things).
How I would like to find something like this today!
