I was gobsmacked, having been an engineer most of my life and no other member of my family were keen engineers such as me, its really weird almost like a second life. I will be avidly waiting at the door for a tour, cant wait. Having gone past this in the car very briefly i noticed this massive namesake plaque on the windows above, this is a must see visit for me.

Easy to overlook and if you are not on foot you probably would. Very close to the Holiday Express for those thinking of giving it a look see and wanting a place near-by. I looked in the window, saw the big machine and read the little history and really wished it had been open that day. Definitely something for my next trip.

Didn't manage to get such a good shot of the machine as you, though! I visited on Open House Weekend – it’s an amazing place. Didn’t manage to get such a good shot of the machine as you, though!

At the time, my wife and I were very keen to help the team. We offered to create a website for them and help promote it, but they seemed reluctant to embrace the idea, so sadly it never happened.

I guess the lack of a website in our modern age is a factor though, as I was slightly worried that the various snippets about their opening hours I had found might be wrong. I was delighted to see they were in fact, correct. Its a pity that fewer people know about it as it is quite an interesting place to visit.

Must try harder. I'll definitely be visiting next time - thanks for that one!
