Longford Engine This seems to have been a reference to a local steam engine, perhaps for pit winding or water raising. In 1772 this pub was used for an auction. In 1807 licensee John Parrish died, and in his will the pub is referred to as the ENGINE INN. (This information comes with thanks to Richard Jones, 6x great-grandson of John.) It is not yet certain how long before 1807 the pub's name changed from the Fire Engine.
