Disused Colliery with 1845 beam pumping engine. Access into this buiding is very tricky and dangerous. However I managed to get a few shots.

Disused Colliery with 1845 beam pumping engine. Parts of the engine seen here, I can't get over how this has managed to survive until 2009!! It was installed in 1845.
A very rare thing indeed!

Disused Colliery with 1845 beam pumping engine. I'd heard about this engine, but never really knew where it was. However a recent vist to the area prompted a look on Google Earth first. And hoorah here it is! Incredible that this has survived here since 1845!!! More info can be found here
