Hook Norton Brewery: main building
A highlight of any trip to the Cotswolds (this was my second visit), I first heard of this traditional brewery through Hunter Davies' 1982 book 'A walk along the tracks'. If you want to partake of the produce on site, there is a bus service from Banbury. This main brewhouse (list entry 1198426) dates from 1898 but incorporates elements of an earlier building, and mid-C19 equipment.

Hook Norton Brewery
A well-known real-ale tower brewery that in 1983 was still powered by a steam engine. In 2019 the engine is still present and demonstrated regularly but is no longer the brewery's source of motive power.

Hook Norton Brewery - steam engine
I believe that by 2003 the engine was really only used for demonstration. It is a horizontal single cylinder engine built 1899 by Buxton & Thornley of Burton-on-Trent. The cylinder is c10" x 22" and it is fitted with drop inlet (steam) valves with the governor operating variable cut-off. The exhaust valves are of the semirotary (or Corliss) type. The flywheel is 7' diameter. The engine was rated at 25 horsepower at 110-115 rpm on steam at 80-100 psi. In the background are some of the pumps that it operated to mover liquor around the brewery. In this shot it is clearly running as the governor's balls are out!

Hook Norton Brewery - steam engine
The horizontal single cylinder steam engine is seen running on a Saturday morning. The fencing leaves something to be desired though. The engine was one of the last commercially working engines in the UK. It is still operable but only run for demonstration. It was built by Buxton & Thornley in Burton-on-Trent in 1899. The cylinder has governor controlled drop steam (inlet) valves and Corliss type semi-rotary exhaust valves and is c10" bore by 22" stroke. The flywheel is 7' diameter.
