One of a set of five that stood in a row over a single flue, each smaller than the last. Cane juice went in at the big end and came out of the small one as sugar. This is the fourth in the row.
Cast in Bristol and shipped as ballast. Two patches are riveted into the base, both done on the estate, and the second is neater than the first.
