South Tyneside College - steam turbine
This is a set of cross compound geared steam turbines set up for display at the South Tyneside College. I understand this area was to be cleared and I suspect it has been scrapped. This was one of a pair of 25,000 horsepower Parsons geared turbines installed in the Battle-class fleet destroyer HMS Corunna built in 1944-47 and commissioned in 1947. She was scrapped at Blyth in 1975. The two water-tube boilers and two steam turbines driving twin screws could propel her at up to 35.75 knots.
When I visited the college it had this display turbine, several workable steam turbines, a reciprocating steam engine and several diesels including a huge single cylinder Doxford, opposed piston two stroke. This latter is in bits at the Anson Museum in Cheshire.
The ladder in the foreground is inside a cylinder from a modern Sulzer marine diesel of the type known colloquially as a 'cathedral diesel' and used in modern container ships.

South Tyneside College - steam engine
When this site was visited in 2002 it retained this steam engine driving an alternator, some steam turbine plant and a large Doxford single cylinder, opposed piston diesel engine. The Doxford was removed for preservation shortly after and I suspect the rest of the plant may no longer survive either.
This engine was built c1956 by E Reader & Sons Ltd of Nottingham as works number 28217 and drove a 60 hz alternator at 514 rpm. The engine is an inverted vertical compound (enclosed). In the left background is a BTH condensing steam turbine set.

The County, Sunderland Road, Westoe
The County pub seen from across the A19 Sunderland Road in 1993. I spent far too long slurping nasty keg Scotch Ale in here in 1979 when I should have been studying. In fact in all my time at college I don't think I missed a night there, and still managed to pass my ticket!
When I dropped in in 1993 the cosy little private bar that had been my haunt was locked up, but at least they had some decent beer on by then.
