Ogden's tobacco factory power house.
A pair of 430 horsepower inverted vertical compound steam engines built 1923 by Browett, lindley of Patricroft. These were stopped by 1974 but remained on standby in to the 1990s. The works has now closed and it is believed they may have been removed or scrapped. This was one of the last decent multi-engine power houses in the mainland of the UK and it is to be regretted that English Heritage would not afford it any form of statutory protection (the office block is listed). See Image and Image taken on the same visit.

Ogden's Tobacco Company
Ogden's Tobacco Company was founded by Thomas Ogden in 1860 when he opened a small retail shop in Liverpool's Park Lane. Within a short time he had established several branches throughout the city and in six years his own factory in St James' Street. In 1870 additional premises were acquired in Cornwallis Street and by 1890 Ogden's had six factories in Liverpool. The present factory at Boundary Lane was built in 1899 and all operations were concentrated at this site when it opened in 1901.

Ogden's Tobacco Factory, Liverpool
Behind the pretty office block. The chimney is on a power house with two large Browett, Lindley steam engines. This is all about to be demolished as only the pretty bit is listed. Attempts to get the power house listed failed, although we are now down to only one other two engine power house of that type (and as far as I know none with more than two).
A former employee has ensured me that the mess was not typical and was probably the result of some work being carried out.
