For history, see Georgie's report: Stanley Dock Bascule Bridge - Pre-Restoration

Yes - this is the same place !

The painting inside the cabin appears to have been done by:

1/. cover machinery with sheeting.
2/. clean woodwork, and replace where needed
3/. spray it white
4/. paint floor grey

It was done by Peel, I'm not a fan of Peel, but they've done it, and no-one else did, so like it or not, some credit due.

It was open on the heritage weekend. The guy reckoned on around 500 visitors each, on Saturday and on Sunday, so it stirred something somewhere.

All new and shiny



A cast siign would have been nicer



The rolling bits, alas however, to roll no more



Why use one rivet when you can use a thousand





open, or close

Even the name is terrifying



Alll racks must be examined for damages and cleavages



Indicator



Ammeter



An old Doncaster name



And an old Scuntthorpe name - Frodingham Iron



Mr Woodruff would be proud



The old fire



That terrifying name again



The original hydraulic power, later electric



The white walls and dark machinery is almost surreal:
