He was a man described as <strong><em>‘the father of the Industrial Revolution’.</em></strong></p> <p>Only a handful of engines survive. The earliest engines were possibly those erected at Dudley Castle (see image below), St. Newlyn East, and Wheal Vor of Cornwall.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160423050112/http://blog.gracesguide.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Newcomen-Engine-3.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-375 size-medium" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20160423050112im_/http://blog.gracesguide.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Newcomen-Engine-3-258x300.jpg" alt="The Newcomen Engine of Dudley Castle erected c1712" width="258" height="300"/></a></p> <p>The Elsecar Engine was possibly the last commercially-used engine, but it remains unique being the last remaining in its original site; inherited back in 1795 by the Fitzwilliam family for their industrial powerhouse at Elsecar until 1923. Other than being used as a back-up during the 1930’s, the engine has slowly faded into history, until three years ago when restoration began.</p> <p>Last month, following the £500,000 restoration project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Barnsley Council and English Heritage, the engine was announced to being back to its original glory.</p> <p>Visit the <a
