The engine in the steam mill at Upminster was manufactured by Matthew Boulton and James Watt at their Soho works in Birmingham. It was a modified Bell Crank engine rated at 6 hp and had a 10ft diameter flywheel. It drove two pairs of millstones and the drive shaft was extended into the windmill to run auxiliary machinery. This picture is thought to have been taken by Rex Wailes.
