Our recent electrical upgrade involved digging a trench in our shop floor! This led to some interesting discoveries, including several layers of different flooring and a small haul of archaeological treasure.

This notice hanging on one of the machines in our workshop seems strangely appropriate for the current situation - but the "yet" shows that we are thinking positively! We will be back...

We are clearing out our storage sheds and have unearthed some hidden gems like this Amanco stationary engine. From 1912 Amanco imported engines from America but after 1928 the Bradford Gas Engine Co manufactured for the firm in Britain.

Engines and beer, anyone?
It's all happening at the Pumphouse this Sunday! Not only are we hosting the Contemporary Cask Fest E17 Beer Festival, but it's also our monthly engine running day! The Victorian horizontal engines will be running at 12 and 2. Sounds like a perfect day out, right?
Bolton Steam Museum
If you find yourself in Lancashire we highly recommend a visit to the marvellous Bolton Steam Museum. It is entirely run by enthusiastic volunteers who have restored a huge collection of engines to their former glory. This engine is running on electricity but there a few days throughout the year when you can see the machines run on steam. #industrial #industrialheritage #heritage #heritagevolunteers #volunteers
Belt-driven machinery in the non-electric workshop

A different kind of engine running...
We're hoping to introduce a lot more interactive elements to our displays. Volunteers have done great work making this large vehicle engine run at the touch of button - it proved very popular with our young visitors last Sunday! #museumweek #playmw
