Thanks for the responses. I am trying to identify equipment by looking the
bases left, currently a small scale gas production plant (it may have been
suction or pressured) and the gas engine it powered. Gas plants rarely
survive, lots of gas engines do and have photographs on-line but most are
smaller machines not the 100+ h.p. with twin c2m flywheels as looks to have
been on the base at Cothercott Mill in Shropshire. Whilst on the subject
if anyone knows of such gas production plant surviving in its place of use
I would be very interested to know, Iona marble quarry is the only one I am
aware of to date, I am also trying establish whether 1.5 x 3m rectangular
gasometers would have been installed in the 1920s.
