Brickworks power
The steam engine at Bursledon Brickworks was originally supplied in 1885 by John Woods & Co of Wigan for the Chandlers Ford works. The cylinder is 16" x 30" with slide valves, Pickering governor, four bar crosshead guides and a disc crank. It was moved to Bursledon in 1896-97 and remains in situ and is run regularly.

I see the steam comes in via the red-covered pipe but how does the exhaust leave? What heats the boiler these days?
