Description: | A reproduction of a drawing of a double-beamed pumping engine at Deepfields, by local artist Ron Davies. It is standing on James Brindley's Wolverhampton to Birmingham Main Line Canal. The square-shaped chimney stacks (as opposed to round) are typical of the Black Country region. The presence of pit gear suggests that coal used for the engine boilers may have been mined on site. The five rounded features beneath the chimney stack are boilers - because of this, the immediate area was known as 'Five Boilers'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | R.
