Mr Stears of Leeds wanted to build a gas works on land of the Company on the lower bank of the canal at Wallbridge between land of Mr Watts and the wharf, but such works were considered objectionable to the immediate neighbourhood.
Work was in hand to install the new boilers for the steam engine and to add to the chimney.
Messrs Perry of Wolverhampton proposed use of a steam boat engine on the summit level to scoop water out fo the tunnel and for drudging, but this was not approved.
