International Stationary Steam Engine Society
Pyestock - The National Gas Turbine Research Establishment
Urbex - An Alternative View Of The Urban Environment
Contact #4 September 2008
"I edit a newsletter for a group called the International Stationery Steam
Engine Society (ISSES). Sounds grand, but we are only a small group (about
300 members) mostly in the UK, with a primary interest in steam power as
applied in industry (rather than transport).
I have recently become aware of the existence of NGTE Pyestock through
images posted on www.theviewfromthenorth.org and from there found your own
site dealing specifically with the place.
As I had no previous knowledge of the site, it came as something of a
revelation to see the scale of the machinery still in place. I'm pretty sure
our society are unaware of its existence and feel sure that our members
would be interested, particularly in the steam turbines and boilers. "
Philip Retter
The piece about the boilers at Pyestock and urban exploration has
been published in the September 2008 issue of their Contact newsletter. Both
articles can be read here (PDF format).
Check out the
society's website for more information.
