Footpath near Dod's Leigh This path had clearly been recently smoothed using something like a small bulldozer, making it far more walkable than would clearly have been the case a few weeks earlier.

Lower Leigh - big diesel engine This is a secure private site that is home to a company specialising in pumps and sewage treatment. The owner is a former marine engineer and invited me to see his work in progress. This beauty is a 1965 built V16 twin turbo W H Allen diesel driving a brushless alternator. The engine is rated at 1860 horsepower with a one hour overload to 2000 horsepower. This now runs off load and makes an awesome noise at 750 rpm. It was used at an Astra Zeneca works.

Recovered high voltage equipment This is equipment no longer wanted by the National Grid and has been saved by the owner of this secure site near Lower Leigh. This was a with permission visit. I think the large units operated at 275kV. None of this is now live, fortunately.

Diesel engines near Lower Leigh A secure private site that was visited at the invitation of the owner. The 8 cylinder Blackstone on the left is the site's emergency generator and can carry load. The W H Allen T47 2-stroke diesel on the right is from Peckforton pumping station and not connected up. Through the wall on the right is a large W H Allen V16 that can run but does not generate.

National diesel engine near Lower Leigh The owner of this private secure site obtained this from the Staffordshire Potteries Water Board pumping station at Stockton Brook. The diesel was installed in 1936 when the station's steam engines were replaced with electric pumps. The power was taken from the public supply but the diesel was the standby generator and drove a dynamo.
