Bascule Bridge returns to Landore in Swansea on 16 Dec 2021
Переглядів 1122 роки тому
This is the moment last night when the 1909 Hafod works Bascule Bridge came back to Landore in Swansea after repairs at local firm Afon engineering! Four hours later and it was lifted from the trailer and set down gently. Next phase is to secure a contractor to restore the timber work in the river before this steel lifting span can be reinstated.

Excellent that our industrial and social history is being logged and recorded for posterity. Does not take long for the history and memories to dissappear then we are left in the position of never having access to what went on in the past and what events, buildings and industry built our area and country.
Sad news, Bill Ball died earlier today 19 April, 2024 at the grand age of 97. Sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues at the Titanium Plant Waunarlwydd where he spent his last working years.
Imagine sleeping in that house after days of heavy rain
Can everyone pray that my aunty suberna finds a husband
GREAT WORK GOING ON AT THE HAFOD MORFA SITE A JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF SWANSEA
great work going on there hope to see the old engine being brought back to life and hopefully the lift to top of Kilvey hill will encourage visitors to the fantastic view up there
It’s nice to see something being done to save it well done 👍
Thanks for sharing. I came to this after finding Cecil Lewis is a distant relative while researching my family tree
Great video. As I live on Carmarthen Rd. I'd like to help out or become a volunteer. My main interest is to restore two of the engines outside rolling mill and perhaps create a short running line. I've e-mailed the museum about this and am waiting for a reply.
Oh, do I need to speak to you. My plan is to get the Fireless loco running. Both projects can share a boiler and the restoration work on both our engines can also be shared.
I like your ambition! If you are on Facebook, please can you message Tom on there: facebook.com/TheMusgraveEngine
This needs captions. It would help for those that don't understand the accent.
wtf . it sounds french. translate it ffs.
boring
My grate grate grandfather was the chife engineer there came up from cornwall jim floyd
Thanks for letting us us know. Could you tell us any more? Have any photos or nik naks?
@@thomashenderson3901 sorry only living memory of my 90 year old gradfather i could help rebuild that mustgrave engine vintage heavy industry is my passion i could bring my gradfather john floyd from swanmet enginering to a meeting one day if you like he has memorys of the 1930s 40s 60s of the works when it was rgbs landor
Jim floyd pattened a lot of the equipment and the stand mills lathes all sorts
I wonder if an additive-free oil would be better? might stop it clinging.
I could get that turning again my grate grate grandfather used to be the chief engineer there
Good to see this sight finally getting some attention.
Fantastic!
My grate grate grandfather was the chife engineer there jim floyd
I wonder if he remeber my grate grate grand father jim floyd
My grate grand father jim floyd worked there
What a pain that was eh? Thin oil too runny, thick oil too sticky!
Ah, this was the very first rivet! The jack backing up the rivet didn't survive so we had to come up with something sturdier. Great day with a great team! 👍
+Iconoclast Constructs Ltd Great to see you're catching up with the Vids Vince! Seen the timelapse of the crane leaving my workshop?
Brilliant.
Wonderful to see a part of our industrial heritage being lovingly restored - well done
Excellent, but I would say that!
i lived at 165 foxhole road
Excellent, so much of our social and industrial history have been lost in the endless push to modernise. So glad someone is recording this for posterity.
