    Very fine grinding wheels....Knife sharpening !



    2 nice spinning frames.....with an over head line drive shaft



    Handles.





    Think this crane is not telling the truth some how !









    Hand written logs well nice find



    Rest easy old friend......in time we will all be with you.











    A look into the air raid shelters under the works, we came across 2 air filtration units hand driven.

    Nice stuff. Love the shelving shot.

    Couldn't get in here last time we went, only got into Wharncliffe works which was a little bit pigeon infested!
