Cool place if you're into engineering and are happy to read signs. Could do with a good tour guide. Running okay considering its a volunteer setup
It would have been better if some of the machines were functioning
Awesome place! Very detailed and learnt a lot about gas holders and how they were used. The engineer workshop is full of engines and machines and all fully functioning.
Great machinery very helpful staff...Interesting for a layman. A great trip back in time...Get a vollie to take u on a tour then u understand the workings far better.
Great historic site to explore. Volunteers are very knowledgeable and friendly
Very well preserved steam powed gas works. The steam operates and the engines do run. They run events as well as black smiting lessons in the forge area.
Awesome, son got a wee present and enjoyed the hole thing...his step dads adopted grandfather worked here...he loved looking around 2 r.i.p babe
Great place well worth a look, when we went they had all the machinery working went for half an hour stayed for 1.30 hours
