Dockside steam crane. It is in working order, but is confined to a very short length of track. Some young visitors seemed fascinated by the technology.
Details summarised from the panel.
Built by William Balmforth (Rodley, Leeds) about 1880 with a capacity of one ton (ie the modern term is swl , safe working load) It is typical of the type of crane used on canal wharves. This example was originally working at Kirkstall Forge, Leeds and has been restored with the help of the friends of the Museum.
