    Helli, Jim and Family! What an amazing place! Considering much of my family worked in places like this, I always find it both personally and historically impressive and important! Awesome tour, sir!

      Hi Rob ,
      I hope you're doing well.
      That flywheel is 85 tons and spins very true.
      Utterly amazing technology for well over a hundred years.
      Thanks for watching..

      Thanks me Lord Al,
      It is truly amazing the way they built and made everything in those days even the glazed bricks and light switches , I am going back in the new year as they have a great cafe with home made cakes etc...
      Stunning place to visit on the 1st Sunday of each month when they fire up the twins..
      Thanks for watching..
      Jim.👍🏻

    Wow, that is a very large steam engine and must have been amazing with the drive system working with all the cotton ropes, leather belt rail, and linkages. The Blacksmith area with the small engine driving the belt system had a reciprocating saw, manual Arber, drill press, lathe, and a Power hammer from what I could see. Interesting video, Jersey Bill

      Thanks Peter,
      I am lucky to have this musium not that far away, it fire's up once a month and takes around £500 of import coal to run for the day.
