37. Boiler House and Coal Bunker.
Plenty of interest in this photo. On the left hand side, one of the beater floor support columns is being hoisted into place, the ropes for operating the hoist are just visible, the man is guiding the column into place, the securing bolts can be seen under the base plate, leaning at an angle. The column is if riveted construction (much of the other steel work was bolted, e.g. the roof trusses). There is a rather scruffy looking Lancashire boiler laying roughly in position in the boiler house – this maybe a second hand one as it shows no makers name (others do). ‘Throopn’y bit’ curves of the narrow gauge track work in evidence.
