Place & story
Clearing and recording the building
Fred Hamond monitored investigations at Caledon’s engine house between 15 February and 7 March 2012. Debris was removed by hand and checked for objects, while surviving roof components and worked timber were salvaged. Excavation revealed sandstone floor flags and parts of the steam engine, including wells, pumps and connecting pipework. The work recorded physical evidence for the machinery and the building that housed it, rather than relying solely on accounts of the mill’s working years. [2]
What the trenches could establish
Trenches east of the engine house could not establish the boiler house’s extent because demolition had removed the area down to foundation level. West of the building, investigators found the old mill gable extending beyond the engine house and uncovered a large cast-iron gear. Hamond considered the surviving fabric sufficient to support reconstruction of the building, while recommending further investigation of whether the engine itself could be restored. [2]
