Fan engine

Fan engine
Compound steam engine driving the ventilation fan at Sutton Manor Colliery. Walker Brothers at Wigan made this engine and the fan to which it was attached in 1910. The cylinders of the 520hp engine were 23" and 36" diameter. At the time of my visit this engine was on standby only.
