A lighthouse?  Possibly at a pier end?

Thanks, Grandarog.  The photo did ring a bell but I couldn't think where.  I resorted to searching for Steam Traction Engine accidents and finally came up with a report about this one.


I found this photo first and thought it was the same accident taken from a different angle, hence my earlier Vigo guess.


Next one shortly ...

That's it John Walker ,Lucky Guess or good memory? The driver was coming down the hill towards Sittingbourne when the Engine over ran.Presumably the driver lost it and it under steered tipping over just past the bend.

No apparently an over speed and consequent steering failure on the bend.

Would a sloping foundation to the wall and a buttress drain out from it have caused the accident?
