Tinker, Shenton & Co Limited, Makers
Tinker, Shenton were a large manufacturer of boilers at their Hyde Boiler Works near Manchester. This is one of two Lancashire boilers installed in 1910 at the top hydraulic pump house of the Shropshire Union Railway and Canal Company at Ellesmere Port. They supplied steam at 100 p.s.i. to four engines providing hydraulic power for the dock cranes and also water supply to a nearby flour mill. Three of the engines have been restored and can be seen in steam at times, although steam is now provided by a more modern boiler situated in a separate building.
