You guys are nuts!  :loco:   

Interesting mind. That water wheel is a bit big!
Would have been an interesting place to have seen working.... But wouldn't have wanted to work there!!




Always a bacon butty at the end  :lol:

John and Rob

Have you got you schedule worked out yet. I see lots of nice artifacts that would look nicer preserved in your sheds than lost to time and the powers that be.  :D :D

Nice video John, I really enjoyed that. Wish I would have had the oportunity to do something like that in my younger years.

Cheers  :beer:

Great video.

What's involved in getting access to places like that though?

I think the real hurdle would be convincing anyone I know to get off their arse and do something other than play videogames all day.
