Papplewick Pumping Station - modern boiler house This building houses a more modern Danks economic type packaged boiler with a chain grate stoker. The boiler is down for inspection and it is to be hoped that it will be able to continue in service. The white cover is over the withdrawn stoker and the boiler can just be seen beyond the roller door. The material it burns is little more than 'slack'. The boiler runs at 100 psi and is mainly used to run the steam winding engine that came from Linby Colliery.
