The River Don Engine worked for over 50 years at Cammell's mill before being moved first to British Steel's River Don plant (hence its name) and then to its present home at the Kelham Island Museum, Sheffield. The engine was last used for commercial work in the 1970s, to roll out reactor shield plates for nuclear power plants.

  • The River Don Engine worked for over 50 years at Cammell's mill before being moved first to British Steel's River Don plant (hence its name) and then to its present home at the Kelham Island Museum, Sheffield. The engine was last used for commercial work in the 1970s, to roll out reactor shield plates for nuclear power plants. The engine is normally regularly demonstrated at the museum, without load, and under only 5 psi of steam pressure. It had to be taken out of service following the Sheffield Floods of July 2007 which extensively damaged the museum complex and parts of the engine. An 8-week program to restore it to working order was begun in June 2008, and has since been completed, making the engine once again capable of normal operation.
