Knowle pumping station Bolinder

[TimYoung]

There is an interesting film on Youtube.

 

Search for Bolinder Knowle.

 

You may recognise the engine as the twin at Ellesmere Port.

 

Shame there is no sound as it is certainly batting round!

I'm now volunteering at the NW Museum in Ellesmere Port, and we are in the process of preparing the Bolinder twin to run again after being silent for over 10 years.

I remember it being brought back into use at Knowle during the drought of 1976.
