Goddard & Massey of Nottingham

1878 Two steam pumping engines (single cylinder beam engines) for Bedford Waterworks [1]

1884 Produced the ironwork for the Cauldwell Bridge (Bedford) over the River Ouse at Bedford. The bridge consists of one central span, and two smaller side pans, the distance between the faces of the north and south abutments being 200ft. The arches are segmental, and consist of four central wrought iron ribs, spaced 5ft. apart. Bridge designed by John James Webster.[2]

One of the Bedford beam engines was re-erected for display outside Mander College in 1965, but in 2010 it was moved to Markham Grange Steam Museum for restoration.[3]
