Power for Old Quay swing bridge
This is the original water hydraulic power plant. In the foreground is a twin cylinder hydraulic power pump with fast and loose pulleys in the centre and a drive belt heading down the middle to the Crossley horizontal single cylinder engine at the back. This plant has been updated but I know not how.
