Wortley Top Forge - vertical steam engine
Built circa 1900 by Markham of Chesterfield and used by the company to drive a portable boring rig for reboring the cylinders of winding engines. The simple slide valve cylinder is 6" bore x 8" stroke. Note the two bar crosshead guide and pitchfork connecting rod. This is a very simple and robust little engine. There is a larger and more solid Markham vertical engine on display in the Chesterfield Museum.

Wortley Top Forge - Scotch crank pump
A No. 2 pump by A G Mumford of Colchester and displayed on the first floor with other small engines. This is a very pretty little engine. The peculiarity of the Scotch crank is that it produces simple harmonic motion because it has no connecting rod with its obliquity effect.

Wortley Top Forge - test engine
This was used as a test engine at Rotherham Technical College and is a pair of Marshall inverted vertical single cylinder engines that could be run singly or together as a compound. According to Geoff Hayes the bores are 4.5" and 7.5" and the stoke 10". The high pressure (smaller bore) cylinder has a Meyer expansion valve and the low pressure has Stephenson's link motion.

Wortley Top Forge - barring engine
This inverted vertical duplex engine was built in 1911 by Ashton, Frost of Blackburn and served one of two large pumping engines at Elkesley Waterworks in Nottinghamshire. The two large pumping engines were both scrapped, one after an abortive attempt at preservation. The two barring engines survive (the other in Wales) and a small steam generating set also survives (at Papplewick Pumping Station).
