Is it Ellenroad Mill?

Yes, you've all seen it before and it is at Ellenroad. But what is it?
(You're definitely on the right lines Gloria!)

Replacing the refractory brickwork around the boiler ?

Sorry Tom no but you're right, it's in the boiler house.

Is it the water feed pump from the wier?

No Tom, much bigger than that.....

Is it a reservoir for water?

No Gloria but it's that sort of size and in the boiler house.....

Coal hopper ?

Is it the pit for the flywheel?

Did it house this?

I'm really surprised you haven't got this. Have a recap. It's new construction, it's in the boiler house and you've correctly identified shuttering and reinforcing. Given all that it can only be one thing! Now have a think and tell me what it is.....

Is it the whitelees engine ?

You've got there Tom! Not the engine of course, but the process of putting in the pit to accommodate it. When I look at it now I still can't believe that we had the confidence to do the job which was incredibly complicated....
Now, how about putting another object up?

What is the cage called and why was it invented?

Mortgage? To stop body snatchers?

Kev's answer sounds good to me. I certainly can't think of anything better!

Very apt name

The autocorrect on my phone changed it, it should have said mortsafe.

I should have proofread it before posting

Got it Kev, mortsafe or mortcage.

That was a good one, never seen one of those.

Warning bell
