I thought Dave might have got it with locks. I'll have a think while we drive home tomorrow. |

She's also very happy that the house is clean and tidy ![]() Edited by: rustyruth at:13th November 2014 22:53 |

Could be the two steam driven engines at Crofton Beam Engines pumping station near Great Bedwyn in Wiltshire. Number one from 1812 is a Boulton & Watt engine and number 2 was built by Harvey and Co in 1846. Edited by: Ken Marshall at:15th November 2014 12:41 |

Visited there a few years back ( before I went digital) and I think the only shots I have are few film prints and not sure where they would be these days. The pumping station then was a really interesting day out and we were there on a steaming day so everything was going which made it that more special. Do remember between the pumping station and the K&A it served the London to Bristol railway ran and the trains don't half thunder through at that point. Anyway, very well done Ken and back to you sir. |
