Cottingham Pumping Station - steam engine, gauge board
One of the three engines installed in 1930 and the only survivor. A large example but short of the biggest in the UK. This site is well hidden and probably not all that visited. Service is public water supply.
The engine was built by Worthington-Simpson Ltd of Newark-on-Trent and is works No. 5048, built in 1930 and retired in 1974. The three cylinders are fitted with drop valves and measure 18", 31" and 50" x 4' stroke. The engine took steam at 200 psi, ran at 24 rpm and developed 350 pump horsepower. The flywheel is 14' 3" diameter. The engine operated three ram type force pumps that were mounted below the engine and operated by rods from its crossheads.
