From the the land that time forgot. An old Pilinger oil burner and Beeston boiler

Took a similar boiler out not long ago. Ideal Britannia.
She Weighed in at just over 4 tonne.
Man's work !

Yeh redid a few fire boxes in me younger days.
Probably a bit too round nowadays to squeeze in there.
The new generation of plumbers wouldn't believe that kind of machine exists
