Steam winder

An afternoon at the Lancashire Mining Museum where I was made very welcome by the volunteers. In the engine house at Astley Green Colliery is the largest steam winding engine ever used in the Lancashire Coalfield. Built by Yates & Thom in 1912, the twin tandem compound engine delivered 3,300 hp. It was being operated with compressed air on this demonstration day.
