Barry Refuse Destructor
« on: Tuesday 05 June 18 14:56 BST (UK) »
Hello , my late great great uncle built what he called the " Barry Refuse Destructor " in the 1890's , he describes it being 168 ft and I wondered on the off chance if there may be a photo of it somewhere ?
Regards
Alan

Not exactly what you were expecting, I guess.
