The Dorothea engine is boarded up for its own protection. Ownership of the
land is an ongoing saga. The proposed diving centre is only a small part of
the story. There is protection of some form (cannot confirm what on where)
for parts of the site. There is local interest in saving the engine but so
far ownership and rights of access have stopped every attempt at
restoration.
