Nigel, was it open to the public when you visited , or did you get special invite ?

I was wondering if these sort of places actually train younger folk  in how to keep these machines working as who will keep them going next generation .?

know it was open just for the day neil, the photos dont do it justice, you cant get far enough away to take good photos some of these pumps must be 15metres tall the fly wheels alone on some are about 6 metres and its run by volunteers most of the pumps were working in the picts i took thats why some are a bit blurred
