Re: Globe Centre

The thumbnail is a similar engine - in this case, it used to be in a mill in Burnley. It now has pride of place inside the entrance of the Science Museum in London. Our Council - in all their infinite wisdom - have decided that, having obtained their "own" engine, they are now going to take the huge fly wheel and dump it in concrete outside their HQ; the rest of the machine will invariably be scrapped. Just to give you an indication of scale, each of the"spokes" on the wheel are about 8ft long

Do you not see now why this is madness?
