British Bung Manufacturing Company - Weir pumps
Back in the 1980s this company was not on the grid and generated its own electricity with diesels and a high-speed steam engine that had replaced a broken uniflow in the 1950s. These little and large Weir feed pumps were alongside a very large Lancashire boiler that provided the steam. The boiler is in the brickwork behind. The pumps were once ubiquitous and made by G & J Weir of Cathcart. I am a little surprised I bothered to photograph them. I didn't take a shot of the boiler.

Steam engine, British Bung Manufacturing Company
Lowland works, Mirfield. Ashworth & Parker inverted vertical compound condensing engine driving an alternator. Installed 1954 to replace a Musgrave uniflow that had broken. Ran until 1989 but probably scrapped since. I have no external shot to hand and doubt I ever took one. Perhaps somebody could oblige if the works is still there.

Steam engine British Bung Manufacturing Company
This more end on view of the Ashworth and Parker high-speed enclosed engine shows the condensing plant to its left. The big cylinder at the back is the oil separator. In front of that is the vertical jet condenser with the motor driven extract pump at its base. The steam jet air ejectors are not visible. The lump on the side of the condenser is the float actuated vacuum breaker (what is he on about?). Well enough of that then.

Gill Bridge, Lower Hopton
Of a similar construction to Wheatley's Bridge further downstream, this flaky, curved plate girder bridge mounted on sandstone abutments carries Hurst Lane between Mirfield and Lower Hopton over the Calder and Hebble Navigations Mirfield Cut. This bridge also has a pipe range, covered with some rather ragged looking lagging.
