Ryhope Pumping Station - the beam floor
This site is now a museum. This shows the beams of the two Woolf compound beam pumping engines built by R & W Hawthorn in 1868. The beams are each 33' long between end centres and weigh 22 tons. This view is from the crank end of the beams with the parallel motion operating the well pumps with a stroke of 10' 8". The connecting rod picks up inboard of the pumps with an 8' stroke to the crank.

Ryhope Engines Museum - close up of steam engine
This show some of the underfloor details of one of the two Woolf compound beam pumping engines. Left top is the big end bearing on the crank with the crankshaft in the top centre. The gearing and shaft are the drives to the governor and valve gear. Bottom left is the top of the well that is boarded over with the pump rod passing through. On the right is the cold water tank (now empty) with the jet condenser at the top and the air pump at the bottom. I hope that is clear and means something to somebody. Like many things, it is easy when you know.
