J Graham Reports That

Three of Brusselton Engines Boilers is down at one End and will Require to be Raised which will take about 4 Days to do it; At the Same time I would recomend the West Bank Foot beeing Carried Out about other forty yards so that the Engine might Start the Waggons upon the Level which would be much Less distructive to the Ropes, And also the Bank head to be relaid as the present Rails are so bad that the Waggons are difficult to Start
