2 months and many delays later, I finally made it back...

Talk about leaving the most interesting stuff until last! One room contained artifacts solely from the period 1936-1968 which I could have spent hours sorting through were they not all damp as hell.

I loved this little contraption, the dial measured units of lb/ft which if I'm right is torque, and it was still in working order.

Great damp shots. I am taking a wild guess here, but is this abandoned factory in Manchester UK?  Thanks for the great photos Mookster.

So soon we forget that we are aware, and slip in to the fog of merely exisiting.

Awesome set!  The cabinets with all the little drawers remind me of the old card catalogs in the library.  So much cool stuff left behind.

Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me.  Until then back off, cause you have no idea.
