Menai Bridge, Merryweather
One sticking my nose in where I probably shouldn't, in about 2009 I came across this old appliance in a barn on Anglesey. January 2011 I was there again and noticed it missing, and enquired as to it's whereabouts. I was told that the machine had been transported to Wylfa Power Station on Anglesey, and that their apprentices were to be restoring it. This is the final product in all her glory at the Anglesey Vintage Rally in Henblas, where she took pride of place in the craft tent. I'l just add that it is not able to steam because money wasn't available for a new boiler.
Henblas, Bodorgan, Anglesey, North Wales.

Makes an interesting contrast to its contemporary North American cousins, most of which which were bigger, more ornate and did not accommodate crew members or delivery hose stowage...
