    I agree with Steve, but was only suggesting those examples in case of extensive patching in a post-loco life...

    From the "tank"s construction I would suggest it is the right way up -- but have no idea what it is, perhaps from beneath a Cornish or Lancashire boiler as a crude form of feed water heating (probably not) :-k

    Another thought, if some of the plates and fittings are ignored as later repairs it has some resemblence to a tank of a Boulton water tube boiler loco (several were built at Ashton-under-Lyne some using machinery from Sturrock steam tenders), that would explain its large diameter, if so that would be a quite incredible relic.

    As with Steve I have already said that this is most likely not related to locomotives. More than likely industrial use. ](*,)

    Tried, but under the water, rubbish and the darkness inside, I couldn't tell!

    Saw them over Summer when exploring the area (including the incline up from Wirksworth). We came to the conclusion they were just water tanks from some other purpose. If I remember correctly, they were still partially plumbed in where they were sat. I'll see if I have any photos too, I know I took some!
