Tolgus Tin - steam engine
This is a horizontal single cylinder steam engine by Holman Bros of Camborne, c1905. It has a slide valve, trunk crosshead guide, bent crankshaft and a Law & Pinkney's patent governor. It later spent some time in the open air - SW6844 : Tolgus Tin - steam engine but as far as I know it is now in an open fronted shed with an electric motor drive - SW6844 : Tolgus Tin - steam engine.
