At
"Squatter Cottage", Blists Hill Museum, Blists Hill, Shrops. Photographs
supplied by John Gow and Dick Osler - thanks, both. Markings: A manufacturer's nameplate has been very roughly highlighted with white paint, but this unfortunately makes it even more difficult to decypher. It reads "Wyatt Brothers", "Hydraulic [& General?] Engineers" , "Whitchurch, Salop". Manufacturer: Wyatt Brothers of Whitchurch. |

The rest of the photos are all supplied by Paul Snelling - thanks, Paul.
