Claymills Victorian Pumping Station 2012

Claymills Victorian Pumping Station with four huge beam engines was put in place in Burton-on-Trent primarily to deal with the waste from the brewing industry there. The coal fired boilers and two of the four massive beam engines have been restored and put back into full working 'steam driven' order and it is run on certain weekends throughout the year. Visit www.claymills.org.uk for visitor information.

way is there small steam coal being used to rise steam in the boilers is it because they are fed and not hand fired?
