Middleton Top Engine - basement
One of the engine drivers very kindly took my small party down the stairs to see some of the machinery there. We didn't go right to the bottom because of the presence of Radon gas. Bang in the middle is the main drive pinion on the crankshaft and the red wheel to its right is the flywheel. The endless haulage rope is seen to the left of centre and would have been a wire rope.
