John Hargreaves, Tameside Paper Mills - steam engines
A pair of Ashworth and Parker of Bury inverted vertical (enclosed) steam engines that drove paper machines. I think the closest is a duplex, No. 863 of 1921/3 that was in use until possibly 1998 and on standby to 2000. Beyond it is compound No. 197 of 1910 and on standby 1985 to ?1998. These are now out of use and were due to be removed for preservation but I suspect they are still in situ. Steam engines made sense in papermills as the exhaust could be used for drying, thus recovering the latent heat and making the overall process more efficient. We just turned up on a Sunday afternoon and the maintenance staff very kindly let us in.

John Hargreaves, Tameside Paper Mill.
The chimney looks like it has been extended with a step in the barrel and a change of batter. The cap is nice though. The works contained two Ashworth & Parker high speed steam engines that were on standby to drive the paper machine. they have since been retired and were due to be removed for preservation.

Cocker Hill Railway Tunnel, eastern exit
The Micklehurst Line was a former railway line which linked Stalybridge Railway Station with Diggle, via a route adjacent to the River Tame and containing four small railway stations.
The route immediately east of Stalybridge Railway Station ran under Cocker Hill, and this is the eastern opening of that tunnel, which can still be accessed by some of the more nimble and determined locals!
