Dundee’s Boulton and Watt Engine

from The James Watt Podcast Hosted by James Watt podcast

A Boulton and Watt engine is one of the star attractions at the Verdant Works museum in Dundee. The engine is located in the High Mill section of the works. The engine dates from 1801-1802. It’s one of only five of its kind surviving in the UK and is on loan from Dundee City Council via a partnership with Leisure and Culture Dundee. The engine is typical of the type used in textile mills in the 1800s – and was originally used to drive the machinery at Douglasfield Bleachworks in Dundee. Here’s Gill Poulter of Dundee Heritage Trust talking about the engine and the wider museum. Podcast produced by The PR Store
