Description

The furnace they used to heat up the boiler for the steam crane at the old mine.
(And the miners probably used it to heat up the mutton pies they got from their old boilers for their tea breaks !!)

They must have liked their furnace, elaborately decorated as it is, even the rust is multicoloured to celebrate the double use.
We used our hardening oven to 'temper' quite a few legs of lamb.. Only the scent gave it away if the boss did the rounds!

A bit of industrial nostalgia courtesy of the Glenfield Co. Ltd., Mick: would probably incinerate their mutton pies, I reckon.
Another good find and captured so well.

in those days even a feed door like that had some quality casting and was made to be decorative as well as functional .Nicely captured Mick.

I mean, it looks very similar to a Vermont Castings wood stove---

A great bit of rust!

A brave man who is prepared to risk a "boilermaker" from one of the "old boilers" referred to Grin - good detailed shot Mike ...Bill

Featured EPZ member at the moment - Typical, Mick, they put you on the front page when there's probably about 10 of us online.

Nicely taken, and indeed it is nice to see some craftmanship on such a working piece of metal.

Now this I like Mick, an image which I can relate too, and one which I can fully understand from all angles and perspectives.

You are quite a mine of information at the moment, Mick.
A good way to keep the R.A.S. on the boil.
I just hope your wording doesn't get you into hot water with Big Aggie Grin

Good one, Mick!

Yes, it looks like some of the wood stoves we have over here. Such great design, not to mention the patina and the rust.

As rust goes Mick it is rather pretty and a super shot, (ignoring the reference to 'old boilers' you note).

How wonderfully ornate, they don't make 'em like that any more! And has the added bonus of being rusty too! Like it Wink

Glorious patina on view here, Mick.
I sincerely hope you survive whatever punishment is dished out to you for the 'old boiler' bit. Remember to post images of the black eye and cauliflower ear Tongue

An interesting bit of history, Mick.
However, maybe you should lay low until those "old boilers" cool down a bit.

It looks like the heat is on you with that comment you made about old boilers! Wink Be warned some of the ladies on here will be too hot for you to handle and they will end up roasting you in that furnace! Tongue
