Meet ‘Anthony’, the Cole, Marchant and Morley steam engine. Anthony was installed in Street in 1911 bringing them electricity 20 years before Street was added to the National Grid in 1931. ‘Anthony’s’ main purpose was to provide power to @clarksshoes HQ factory and offices and the Avalon Leatherboard Mill but he also went on to provide power for Greenbank Swimming Pool so the lido could be heated. Sadly ‘Anthony’ retired in 1962, but he lives on in #Clarksshoes HQ with weekly maintenance visits. Want to know more about steam? Head on over to Westonzoyland Pumping Station Museum this Saturday for their October Steam Up to see various machines in action #steam #steamengine
