A sawmill powered by a beam engine was built in the middle of the 19th century.
One of the two steam driven beam engines is still working occasionally.
The works were driven by a large steam powered beam engine, which was started for the first time on 13 July 1865.
Is was powered by a large double beam engine.
House building for beam engines continued into the 20th century.
It was really the familiar beam engine of the time, adapted for marine use.
These were first used by Watt for his beam engines in the 1770s or 1780s.
In later years it was worked by a beam engine.
The water level was raised 2 feet in 1887, to increase capacity, and the original steam powered beam engines ran until 1956.
A large beam engine that was saved from a local water works is being restored.
