Aveling & Porter Road Roller ... more investigation needed to get an idea of size and n.h.p. rating.

(Without a side view being available details will be limited.)

The 2 traits I noticed about this are the notch in the front of the roof for the funnel, and the outside locomotive type drive on the right rear drum. I searched 43 pages of Aveling & Porter Steamrollers, maybe I missed something http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/?pc=/engines/aveling-porter/

The 'outside drive' visible on the right rear is a dragging or grading device for lifting the road surface I believe in preparation for re-surfacing based on pictures I've seen. Most are much heavier than this but a lighter-weight example is here... http://www.steamscenes.org.uk/?pc=/events/2008/essex-steam-show/187/

The canopy roof looks distinctive however I think the variations in roof design could apply to any engine? Perhaps they were added by carpenters after the engine was built?

The evidence I was looking for was if it was single cylinder (I think it is) rather than compound (high/low pressure twin cylinders), the head-stock design where the front drum is pivoted, and the overall size of the engine.

I'm guessing its a single cylinder but need to compare what is seen with the preserved examples.
