An Immense Boiler—A very unusual sight was witnessed at Rushden on Monday afternoon, when a large boiler, weighing over 18 tons, was conveyed from the M.R. station to the C.W.S. boot factory. A traction engine was used for drawing the boiler, and in order to get to the Rectory-road factory a circuitous route was necessary. The boiler was taken along High-street, round by Ward’s Corner and into Newton-road, thence along Rectory-road back again towards the station, until it arrived safely at the site of the new boiler-house. The traction engine and boiler were preceded by P.S. Ellingham and one of the constables, who kept the course clear, and Mr. Pitt, the station-master, superintended the removal on behalf of the M.R. Co., Mr. Ballard, the manager of the C.W.S. factory at Rushden, being also in attendance. Crowds of people watched the removal of the gigantic concern, particularly the manoeuvres which were necessary in negotiating Ward’s Corner and other awkward turns. All concerned in the work exercised the greatest care and manifested the utmost patience and in course of time the boiler was safely placed on the C.W.S. premises.
