The Church Farm Deep Pit worked two seams at depths of 215ft and 229ft. The pits stopped work in 1815 and it wasn't until 1875 that reopening was begun. A 50 inch Cornish pumping engine was installed in this house in 1880-81 and srained the colliery until it was finally abandoned in 1891. One of several extant enginehouses visited during the recent Early Engines Conference in Bristol.

SND No.4

nobody@ipernity.com (tarboat) — Sun, 01 Dec 2024 06:41:47 +0000

tarboat has posted:

It was mainly used to dredge Gloucester Docks and the Sharpness canal to a depth of 16ft and to dredge the dock at Sharpness to 24ft. At times SND No.4 also worked in the entrance and tidal basin at Sharpness. These operations typically removed 35,000 to 40,000 tons of mud from the canal and docks each year until 1981, when SND No.4 was replaced by a diesel-electric powered dredger. It is now a working exhibit in the Gloucester Waterways Museum.

On my first visit to Lancaut I missed this kiln and so a return visit was called for. It is a single pot with two draw tunnels and rather overgrown. Condition is very good.

Corrugated iron extension to the factory of Numold (UK) Ltd at Gloucester. The business designs and make moulds for concrete castings. I suspect that this extension was used as a drawing/design office as it has a wall of windows to allow as much light in as possible. The building seemed to be out of use.
