The UK seams to have enough pride to preserve past. Over here most things that can't go for scrap are left to rot.
There's a very similar pumping engine in Hamilton Ontario, forget the build date. The boilers are all gone, apparently the engine was left only because there wasn't enough metal in it to cover the cost of tearing down the brick building to get at it. They have it rolling over with an electric motor, nice but certainly not the romance of actual steam.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
