Next time please get a bit of footage of the other steam engine in that room, whether it's running or not. I think it'd be cool to see what condition it's in and how far they've gotten with its restoration.

I have read the estimated HP is between 200-250 but this has not been officially confirmed. Yes, flowback was a problem. In 1891 sediment tanks were installed, the sludge was taken out by barge then dumped further out into the Thames Estuary. Later proper sewage treatment works were established.
Amazing. No built-in obsolescence in those days.

47 ton beam is actually a Rocker Arm.
Maybe in current world terminology but that is the period correct designation.
