Perhaps not as nice as a real Lancashire boiler but just at this for a boiler room:

Oh look it's a spooky fire ghost thingy

One I forgot from the USA - a pair of boilers inside a cheese factory. These two were beasts, the size of them is quite hard to tell from the photo as the room was so cramped.

One I forgot I even shot (badly), the falling apart and unpleasant boiler house at L&H Polymers in Northampton.

I'd forgotten about these:

Originally from cotton mills in Manchester but re-purposed here as fuel tanks.

A rusting external boiler on top of a hill in North Wales. It was part of the old weir system for the Dolgarrog Hydroelectric Power Station. The boiler is situated near the penstocks (water gate valves) where water was piped down to the turbine house of the power station.

The cheeky little Lancashire boiler at Herdmans Flax Mill in Northern Ireland.
