Good to see this important bit of engineering and Industrial Revolution history.
And a very fine shot it is too.

Thank you Andy,

You are right, it is an important piece of industrial history. I well remember learning about these at university, and the way James Watt built on the idea with a separate condenser, double action, and (a particular favourite of mine) parallel motion, thus enabling the change from at atmospheric engine to one driven by steam pressure...
Unfortunately this one was out of action with a 'worn out' boiler.

Hi Steve,

Thank you so much, It is always difficult to know how to photograph these beam engines, since only half is ever visible! And you noticed the fence too..!!
