Wilderspool Brewery - steam engine
Tangye of Birmingham inverted vertical single cylinder engine. It has a flywheel mounted inertia governor that alters the valve cut-off. Quite a sophisticated feature and one I haven't seen that often. This engine was out of use and hidden in a corner of this tower brewery. It was acquired by the late Fred Dibnah MBE and used by him to drive a saw. It has recently been sold by Cheffins on behalf of the estate.

Steam engine, Greenall Whitley Brewery
This brewery had a stupendous power house. This is one of two Thornewill and Warham engines built 1884 and now preserved at Markham Grange Steam Museum. There was also a Davey, Paxman/Linde refrigeration compressor. A unique machine in the UK. Its current location is unknown. The Brewery has now been converted to offices.

Stafford Road and Wilderspool Causeway
I was intrigued by the bendy-over tops of the posts with the traffic signs - Triffids Mk2? Big brother is watching us? There are a lot of them around, and apparently they are [quite expensive] low voltage lights for the signs.
