Hi

When I first mentioned the possibility of a stationary engine at this place I did say it was pure conjecture and that I was doubtfull myself. To be honest I just don't believe they would build one in such an awkward place especially when the other end of the tunnel at Waterloo is an open space. Also all the other engines in the area are at the top of the incline ie Edge Hill Waterloo Bank Head, Wapping Bank Head and Edge Hill Station for Lime Street.

Looking at the photos of the cutout it appears to me that the base of this is well above track level - might be how I'm reading the photos??

Regards

Mike
