This is a Vickers Petter 2-cylinder 2-stroke normally aspirated diesel engine from Southery Fen. It was used, like other engines, to drive the pumps to keep water moving through the Fens. It is now in the Prickwillow Museum of Fenland Drainage - see http://www.prickwillow-engine-museum.co.uk/ for details of school visits.
