North Street, PETWORTH, GU28 0DP

This building was originally a dairy and is built over a very large ice house. It was later converted to house a portable fire engine and the two central columns were 'necked' to give clearance for this. It now houses a stationary steam fire pump from elsewhere on the estate. This is a rare beast but sadly not on display. I do have slides of this and one day will scan them.

Garden feature within Petworth Park, landscaped by Capability Brown.

North of the house. The lawns are covered in a countless number of daffodils.

What looks like a simple caravan was apparently used by the estate shepherd, and now by tour guides.

Originally built in the 18th century as an outhouse and was later used to house a fire engine. Constructed of rubble stone with red brick quoins and dressings under a tile roof. An ornamental front was added in the early 19th century to form a garden house and to conceal the utilitarian building. The front is stuccoed with a portico of four Doric columns with a pediment over, all under a slate roof. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1226056 Unusually, Petworth House and Park are situated adjacent to the small town of Petworth, some 5½ miles east of Midhurst.

This is a Shand Mason horizontal duplex steam fire pump mounted on a bed with an adjoining vertical boiler. It has been relocated from elsewhere on the estate and is appropriately enough in the former fire station that housed a horse drawn engine. Sadly, it is not on public display but if you make arrangements the National Trust will show you it. It's a lovely piece of kit and deserves to be properly displayed.
