Looks like they're very old petrol engines...

Googling the name leads to a company that made engines.

Thanks for the link , interesting

Strange that its in the middle of an empty wasteland/grass field. Nothing nearby!

Are you just showing off your photos? Because the last photo is of no help at all!

Cracking piece of old iron, pity it's a petrol though

I was thinking this!
I have no idea what it is but it looks like it dates back quite far :eek:

Old bush's what?

It's clearly an engine.

Wasn't there a guy who posted a thread here ages ago about using a Lister engine to run a generator to power his house? It was pretty cool :cool:

Water pump?
