Washpit Mill - steam engine Agnes is one of my favourite engines but is no longer at this location, indeed the engine house's site has been cleared.

Agnes is a horizontal tandem compound condensing mill engine built in 1909 by Pollit & Wigzell of Sowerby Bridge. The Corliss valve cylinders are 18" & 36" bores by 4' stroke. Operating speed was 80 rpm on steam at 160 psi and it developed 600 indicated horsepower. The 16' flywheel drove via ropes to a large alternator next door and to some limited machinery in part of the mill. The engine was in regular use until early 1980 and was then run just for show, usually on Friday afternoons.

This end on view shows the combined jet condenser and single acting air pump. The big green drum above is an oil separator that removed oil from the exhaust steam so that the condensate could be used in the mill's processes. The little black cylinder to the left is a vacuum operated trap that discharged the oil that had been caught (best not to think where it might have gone).

Cliff is a small village located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. It is situated approximately four miles southwest of the market town of Beverley and is part of the civil parish of Walkington. The village is nestled in a picturesque countryside setting, surrounded by rolling hills and green fields.

Cliff is known for its charming and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal place for those seeking a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The village consists of a collection of traditional stone houses, many of which date back to the 18th and 19th centuries, adding to the area's historic charm.

One of the notable features of Cliff is its close proximity to the River Hull, which flows nearby. This offers residents and visitors alike the opportunity to enjoy scenic walks along the riverbank, taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.

Despite its small size, Cliff has a strong sense of community, with a local village hall serving as a hub for various social events and activities. The village also benefits from a primary school, providing education for the local children.

Although Cliff may lack some amenities typically found in larger towns, its close proximity to Beverley means that residents have easy access to a range of shops, restaurants, and other essential services.

In conclusion, Cliff is a charming village in the heart of the East Riding of Yorkshire, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting for those seeking a rural lifestyle. Its historic buildings, beautiful surroundings, and strong community spirit contribute to its appeal as a place to live or visit.

This shows the high pressure cylinder valve gear under the control of the Lumb governor and regulator. In the background the crank is in the correct starting position, ready to start turning as soon as the stop valve is wound open. The three ropes bottom right drive the governor.

This view is from alongside the high pressure cylinder looking towards the crank. The latter is in the starting position and a few moments later the engine was running. This is Pollit & Wigzell's patent three piston rod design with the two low pressure rods passing either side of the high pressure cylinder. The shiny rod coming from the right hand edge is one of the low pressure rods. This made for a slightly shorter and more compact engine. The plastic pipe above the engine is not original and was a replacement condensing water supply. The little shelf on the end wall once held a gas meter.

Washpit Mill - boiler feed pump This is Pollit and Wigzell's standard three throw feed pump driven off the main engine next door. It was in the same space as the flywheel and rope driven alternator in the room next to the engine house. I visited this site quite a few times before the engine was finally removed in 1998 for re-erection at Markham Grange Steam Museum.

This is the flywheel next door with the rope grooves and the wooden boarding over the spokes. The boarding prevented the flywheel stirring up a gale. As re-erected at Markham Grange Steam Museum it does not have the boarding. The teeth around the rim are for barring the engine round. This was originally by a small steam engine but more recently an electric motor had been installed. This installation was beautifully kept and even more than 40 years after I first saw it (about 1976) I still have very fond memories of it.

This shows the Lumb governor with the modified Wilby regulator and an electric stop motion. The three piston rods of the patented 'three-rod system' are seen towards the bottom. The blurring of the governor's balls and the horizontal position of the operating lever below the centre weight both indicated that the engine was running at its operating speed. This was always a treat.

Behind is the crosshead with the three piston rods that are the feature of Pollit & Wigzell's patented three rod design.

Old milestone At the entrance to Lydgett Farm on Moor Lane, Netherthong is this out of place milestone.   It had been used as a gatepost at SE119092 and then on the top of a stone wall.   It has mileages to Penistone (penyston) 8 Miles, this face, Marsden and Huddersfield with pointing hands.  It is mentioned in WB Crump, Huddersfield Highways Down The Ages P146/147 and may have been at the crossroads Bradshaw Road/Wilshaw Mill Road near where it was used as a gatepost.

The rest of the stones towards the top of Holme Moss, 7, 8, 9 AD 10 are in place and well painted.   In 2011 the Huddersfield 4 and 5 stones were also by the roadside.
