At Beamish at the weekend. Here's the 'Silksworth Sinking Engine' photographed from up the colliery heapstead. I think your engine mounts would be fit with a similar machine?
This one was built in 1868 for Silksworth Colliery, but only installed for the shaft sinking phase, but it was retained for dropping heavy machinery down the shaft, and as a backup winder. It is, according to the guide book, a unique survivor.
