Elon Crowther & Sons, Upper Mill - condensing plant
This is the surface condensing plant associated with a Belliss & Morcom inverted vertical compound steam engine built in 1953 and working until c1966 - Image The condenser has a two-stage steam jet air extractor and motor driven pumps. The engine is now in store at Masson Mill, Matlock Bath but I don't know if this part of the plant was saved.
The condensing plant was unusual as many engines of this type were used as back-pressure sets in combined heat and power plants. When possible this is a better use of steam as it puts the latent heat of vaporisation to useful work rather than just warming the condensing water (low-grade heat usually rejected).

Art Deco architecture at Upper Mill, Slaithwaite
I used to think of curved steel-framed windows as being 'ocean liner' architecture.
