An ‘exceptionally rare’ Victorian Crossley engine is set to go on display after being discovered in the attic of a former courthouse and jail in Edinburgh… discovered… during renovation work.
Built in 1878… [it] was used to regulate the temperature of the Edinburgh Police Chambers… the second-oldest surviving Crossley four-stroke engine in the world and the oldest in Europe…
