Newcomen Beam Engine at Elsecar
The Newcomen Beam Engine at Elsecar is one of South Yorkshire's finest surviving legacies of the Industrial Revolution. It is the only Newcomen – type atmospheric pressure beam engine in the world to have remained in its original location.
It was built in 1795 to extract water from Elsecar New Colliery, to allow the exploitation of deeper coal seams. The incorrect date stone above the door actually reads 1787.
The Beam Engine ran from 1795 => 1923 when it was replaced by Electric Pumps. At its peak it could draw 600 gallons a minute.
In 1972 the engine was classified as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

Parkins Yard
Street names consisting of a series of individual ceramic tiles with the letters on are a local feature. In this case, Parkins Yard as such has disappeared, but the name remains in situ.

37 Hill Street, Elsecar
The ground floor window has certainly been rebuilt at some stage - it may have been a shop front. Built in the local ironstone, which after cleaning shows some fine patterns. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3550086

Patterns in the stone
The reddish banding shows the presence of iron in the stone, and highlights the way the stone has been laid down as a sedimentary deposit. (detail from 37 Hill Street http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3550083 )

#31 Hill Street
Described by the Ordnance Survey as a public house, but probably only licensed for beer .. more than it does now! There is an OS benchmark Image on the near corner, left hand face, of the building, under the Parkins Yard name sign

31 Hill Street, Elsecar
The name Parkins Yard on the side of the house refers to an area which has now become its back garden. The house appears at some stage to have been a Beer House (a pub with a licence to sell beer only, and not wines or spirits).
