80. Machine house 17/8/21.
This actually appears to be taken at a similar time to the previous one though dated much later. The NG railway used to bring in concrete evident in both photos for finishing off the machine house floor. The state of no 2 machine erection is the same in both.
Centrifugal pump in no 1 m/c pit, may be for either machine (but probably no 1 m/c, see photo of centrifugal pump in situ in photo 72).
Felt guide rolls or possibly table rolls stacked in no 2 m/c wire pit.
The end of the concrete and hi-rib roof over the service tunnel is just visible in the foreground, with the NG track carried over the void on beams with plank walkway in the 2 foot for the workmen to push the tipper skip wagons.
