A little geared rolling mill engine and the beam from a Cornish engine are preserved outside the Swansea Museum. The horizontal engine was used in a lead rolling mill and the beam is the remaining artefact from several beam engines that helped to drain the Severn Tunnel. This particular beam was from the 1879 engine in No. 2 Pump House at Sudbrook.
