Cobb's Engine House (properly known as Windmill End Pumping Station) in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England, is a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade II listed building built around 1831.[1] It housed a stationary steam pump used to pump water firstly from Windmill End Colliery and later other mines in the area. Utilizing a shaft 525 feet deep, 1,600,000 litres of water were pumped from the mines into the canal daily.[2] It ceased work in 1928 and the Newcomen type engine was moved to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan in 1930.[3]
Thomas Dudley (October 12, 1576? July 31, 1653) was a colonial magistrate who served several terms as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, during which he sometimes clashed with his rival John Winthrop. Dudley was the chief founder of Newtowne, later Cambridge, Massachusetts, and built the town's first home. As Governor, Dudley signed the Charter creating Harvard College. Thomas Dudley Gate at Harvard College was named in his honor, as is the non-residential Dudley House. Dudley's descendants were early governors, ministers, judges, as well as the nation's first poet.
Pelsall Junction (grid reference SK018044) is the southern limit of the Cannock Extension Canal where it meets the Wyrley and Essington Canal main line, near Pelsall, West Midlands, England.
Historically the Birchills Branch of the Wyrley and Essington ran from Sneyd Junction to Bloxall Wharf, north-west of Walsall. When the Wryley and Essington Extension Canal was authorised, it ran from Birchills Junction on the Birchills Branch to Huddlesford: most of the Birchills Branch was effectively subsumed into the new mainline of the Wyrley and Essington. Thus the junction was with what became the mainline of the Wyrley and Essington, and the stub branch to Bloxall Wharf.
