On our way done to Norwich we stopped for a couple of nights at the steel town of Sheffield (The Full Monty) so Bill could visit an industrial museum.
ILunch on the first day was at Berwick upon Tweed, with its old Aqueduct.
Looking towards the industrial heritage Museum on Kelham Island in Sheffield.
A large Bessemer Converter (blast furnance) stands at the entrance to the Kelham Island Museum.
The huge River Don 12,000 hp steam engine used to drive a plate forming mill. It was built in 1905 and retired in 1978. It is still steamed regularly but sadly not on the day we were there.
The Winter Gardens in Sheffield has quite a few Australian plants.
Sheffield Cathedral.
Inside the gothic Cathedral.
.The Tour de France second stage finished in Sheffield this year, so there were quite a few bike themes around. This was a bike decorating contest displayed at the Cathedral.
