Abbeydale Industrial Village, Sheffield

Had a quick visit today, as I was passing through. Interesting place, a bit run down at present, but apparently they've just had a large amount of funding and plan to carry out some improvements.

Entry is free at present and it's well worth a visit.

I only took a couple of photos today, but it's definitely worth another visit to get more images.




The tilt-forge with, on the left the water-powered tilt hammers and on the right, a 2-cylinder blowing machine, again water-powered,
which provided the draught necessary to raise the forges to the required temperature.


A horizontal steam engine, currently out of use owing to the boiler needing repair.
