THE VINERY HARTLAND KENT |

When any historical heating system is refurbished and updated, the first and most likely item of equipment to be removed, replaced and then usually destroyed is the boiler. It is therefore, a very rare occasion for the Heritage Group to find or alternatively, be informed about any example of a James Keith sectional boiler. To date only two examples of a James Keith boiler have been discovered and photographed. |
