Can't remember who it was now, but I was shown round (to the amazement of both management and works, being a FEMALE!) and I remember the heat, the noise and just the sheer size of these vast great lengths of red hot steel being rolled.<br /><br />Its no surprise to me that that shed was one third of a mile long!Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-34328806433923529892010-10-25T12:08:23.542+01:002010-10-25T12:08:23.542+01:00Great place to visit, I think your camera do a ver...Great place to visit, I think your camera do a very good job.

What a history we've got and what a shame its virtually non existant now. I love the photographs of the fire, fantastic effect!<br /><br />Love Julia x x x<br /><br />(ps - not doing the Candy Cane fair as a bit too busy with things, bit I hear its a grand line up so maybe worth a visit!)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492504774523043887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-40439910117486258952010-10-24T19:53:20.230+01:002010-10-24T19:53:20.230+01:00The museum is a wonderful experience

The whole issue of closing the steel works and all the other crap that happened to British industry in the past gets me so riled ... I'm fuming just thinking about it... There are a great many swear words I could use!<br />But, I'll get back into my cage (!) and on another note, I'm pleased to hear you're having a Staycation. We had our first last Autumn and have another coming up soon - last year's staycation was one of my favourite holidays ever! So we're really looking forward to the forthcoming holiday at home!<br />Happy days to you,<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.com
