The Dogdyke Engine is a drainage engine near Tattershall, Lincolnshire, in England. The drainage of of land around Tattershall was authorised in 1796, and came under the control of the Witham Third District commissioners in 1844 The building dates to 1856 when a rotative beam engine was built to replace windmill style engines possibly dating to 1540 and draining land between the rivers Bain and Witham. The engine discharged into the River Witham, but has a long fetch from a drain parallel to the river called ''The Dogdyke engine drain'' originating just south of Kirkstead at a place called ''Parkbeck''. 1856 is relatively late and Wheeler does say that the 1856 engine replaces one installed in 1841,〔 but the location of that is unknown. The building is a grade II listed ancient monument. ==Engines== * Bradley and Craven Beam engine and scoop wheel, built 1856 * Ruston & Hornsby Diesel engine and centrifugal pump, built 1940 * Ruston & Hornsby auxiliary engine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dogdyke Engine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
