Abstract/Summary
An early 20th-century gas-engine pit, rediscovered in 2015, was opened up and recorded before its infilling in 2020. The pit was much-altered, and no trace of the former engine was present, although evidence of access for maintenance, fume-extraction, and drive-shafts were seen. It connected at right angles to a second basement, which had latterly been used for storage. This too has been filled in following recording.
