A Bermuda Treasure

Mark Whittaker writes (22nd April 2008) "I have found an Ormerod Grierson & Co static steam engine, in a building in Bermuda where I presently live, the building is due for demolition, and I'm uncertain of the steam engine's fate? It would be a shame to see this engine destroyed, can you give me any advice? Or put me in touch with anyone who might be able to offer advice or help. The plate on the engine's details are:

C, T, PORTERS PATENT, SIZE D NUMBER 73, MAKERS, ORMEROD GRIERSON & CO, MANCHESTER, 1865.

Here are some pictures - with over-cylinder valves this is a very old engine, Yuehong and I have seen only very few similar engines in Burma and only a couple working, none with any identification at all.
