Thread: Kelham Island Industrial Museum, Sheffield

Spent a really interesting day here. Some good photo opportunities. Good cafe too! The Museum is open Sunday to Thursday.


Situated on a man made island that is thought to be at least 900 years old, the museum is not far from the centre of Sheffield..


..and is in a former industrial area that has been redeveloped.


The Bessemer Converter is one of only three remaining world-wide.


The Crossley gas engine


The Bramah's Hydraulic Press, used to flatten maps!


The River Don steam engine






When the museum is open, the engine is in steam at regular times during the day.
