Looking at the lathe in the last picture it appears someone has been in for a crafty drink since then.

You would have a field day here -there is a huge range of equipment, old and new around -Tractors are just getting bigger and bigger -they also have a small combine here which is for the maize.
I went to see the huge steam engine working at Wigan Pier when my eldest was 5 so nearly 20 years ago -was very impressive.
Thanks all for your nice comments about my bits and pieces!
