Private collection, Worle - Erie-Ball steam engine
The collection owned by the late John Huish. This has now been dispersed and it appears the building housing it has been demolished. This is a US built high speed horizontal single cylinder engine. I had completely forgotten this was here and it probably came from the Burmah Castrol oil refinery at Ellesmere Port - Image A similar engine is dismantled in store at Astley Green Colliery.

Private collection, Worle - Belliss & Morcom steam engine
Inverted vertical single cylinder (enclosed) engine driving an alternator. This is No. 7061 and is an absolute classic Belliss & Morcom design that was largely unchanged for in excess of 50 years. This was in the collection of the late John Huish and has now been dispersed.

Private collection, Worle - Waller steam engine
G Waller of Stroud built this inverted vertical engine for gasworks use, almost certainly for exhauster drive. This is borne out by the gas pressure governor seen behind the flywheel in the right background. The exhauster would have been attached to the crankshaft coupling on the left.

Private collection, Worle - Tangyes 'Archer' engine
This now disbanded private collection was owned by the late John Huish. In pride of place in the photograph is a Tangyes of Birmingham inverted vertical single cylinder engine. The light green three cylinder drum-shaped machine is a Peter Brotherhood radial engine. Also nearby are a pair of horizontal single cylinder twin flywheel machines that would have been for gasworks use and highly likely to have been by Bryan Donkin of Chesterfield.

Private collection, Worle - marine engine
This was a private collection in Worle that has since been disbanded and the site appears to have been cleared. This was the largest engine here and mounted on a lorry trailer so that it could be taken to events. This activity ceased as soon as it was realised it was so heavy it tended to bog down. It is an inverted vertical triple expansion engine from a Navy 'Fresh' class water carrier. It is now on display at Chatham Historic Dockyard but I have yet to scan an image of it there.
