Systime computer, Armley Mills museum
This Systime 'Mini-computer' (so called by comparison with a 'mainframe') with its large disks of 2.8 megabyte capacity is exactly the type on which I learnt to write computer code in 1979. It's now a museum piece.

Armley Mills - Beam engine
This museum, in a large former textile mill has one engine dismantled and in store and one on display in less than ideal circumstances. The one on display is an A frame type single cylinder built in about 1845 by Hick, Hargreaves of Bolton. It was used to work hoisting machinery in the London Road warehouse, Manchester of the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway. It was originally displayed at the original York Railway Museum with an incomplete flywheel and this state of affairs persists.

Leeds Industrial Museum - hydraulic pumping engine
This artefact has been in the same spot with nothing happening for over 30 years, but at least it survives and could be restored. It is a duplex steam hydraulic pumping engine that was built by Tannett Walker & Co of Leeds, possibly c1880s and was used to provide hydraulic power at Bow Common Gas Works, London. The slide valve cylinders are 14.375" x 21" and the flywheel is 6' diameter. It was removed in 1974. To the left is a Greenwood & Batley impulse steam turbine driving a generator via reduction gearing. This too is untouched.
