After lounging around outside in the good weather for a bit, we started heading south to return to the London area to explore some more places.

I love this gallery. It's strange to look upon things that were made decades ago, but still work. Too bad nothing we make today will work in a 100 years...

You truly give a good reference to those who are writing and creating artwork in the Steam Punk persuasion, like me for instance!
Thanks lot!

I find it difficult to comment on al the shots. So I hope a "Very well done" on the last one will suffice. Some very impressive stuff..

Victorians went out of the way to make even the pumping stations a work of art.

Brilliant, Mr Motts, absolutely brilliant.
And the 'London" comment, does that mean we will see some sets from the city, as well?
I do hope so. The change is nice.

Great place thanks for the phots Mr. Motts. Its nice to have you share the great things you find. Most of us would never get the chance to even know about these place. You provide us with pictures and knowledge of their existance.

Thanks!

First, glad the site's up and running and that things are starting to smoothe out for ya, Motts!

Second....AMAZING gallery! Such a RARE look into Victorian machinery...and it's not rusted or decrepit looking, it looks like it's only a few years old!! I can tell from the size of the bbuilding that you were probably looking at mostly BEHEMOTH stuff there, too. FAB, Motts, simply FAB!

If this one had a Cross affixed to the top. I would swear it was a church and those little buildings were where the Sisters lived.
Fab. Ending to a great persentation.

Definitely excellent. Looking at these galleries is like stepping into a freaky time machine, it a wonderful way to just get away from it all without actually going anywhere.

did you press any of the buttons to test what they do if anything at all?

No, since the guy was nice enough to let us in, I wasn't going to start pressing buttons everywhere. The station does still run.

After climbing about in ruins, and the detritus of decay, touring this pristine environment must have been a real pleasure. This is one of the best galleries you've ever done.
