Great explore, love the workshop and machinery. You're right about arc-eye, I had it once for being stupid with a welder basically. You don't realise it's got you until hours after the damage has already been done and it is extremely painful. 👀 Cheers ALW! 👍🏻

Ive had arc eye....I cried like a baby.....luckily when i asked the nice lady at the hospital if I could have some of the numbing drops to take home, she said I'm not allowed to give you any but if you was to take some when I leave the room...nobody would know.....so that's what I did😂😢😅

The economy of big(er) business’s is totally different than what we are used to. Sometimes the assets are tied up in court for decades. There was a foundry that was closed for not paying, wages, workmans comp & taxes. The gov. sized the plant until debts were paid. Unfortunately the meth heads cut their way in & stripped everything they could.

Feel the sadness...People’s working lives...Piss poor wages Spiv Executives paid bonuses and share packages no doubt...It’s a wonder it wasn’t asset stripped then. Needs security. Companies and workers like that were the making of Rag Trade Britain. Our yout needs to be reacquainted with the technical trades to overcome the throw away society and develop talents to invent make and repair things. Let’s hope the site can be reborn somehow.

unfortunately, that lathe would require more than just a good cleaning to be useable again. I'm sure abandon factories are all too common in England as they are here in the US. It's sad to see this happening in the birthplace of the industrial revolution.

Wow. The little machine by the mechanical hacksaw is slotting machine used to make internal keyway, splines, gear's and slot's. The workshop is a really nice maintenance shop you could easily keep factory running with. A lathe, milling machine. Drill press, mechanical hacksaw, auto pipe threading machine, pedestal grinders. Really enjoyed this. But it is sad to think all those people would of worked and lived near this factory.

Hello there 👋 It was surreal as if the workers had just gone out for lunch. Sadly in reality they will never return. We used to have a similar workshop aboard HMS Ark Royal

@@ALWResearchTeam Yes I find it fascinating and depressing all at the same time seeing factory's abandoned and a lot get turned into housing estate's or small industrial estates,so much of the work went overseas. There was a time that every ship had a machine shop and Biggins like a aircraft carrier would have proper large machine shops. A friend of my dad's used to tell me of his time's on HMS eagle, Ark Royal and Hermes he was a engineering artificer who after leaving the navy worked at power stations all the same skills he used to say steam is steam, whether you're on land or at Sea, Lol I served my apprenticeship with my dad as machinist/fitter or in old money Fitter/ Turner now you're called a maintenance engineer, lol The amount places we used to work at and for in the 80s and 90s that are no more it's sad. The people, the skills, the banter, the community yes often the work was hard, dirty and monotonous but you didn't have the social deprivation and collapse when you had old school industries and their social clubs and communities. Thank you for sharing these very interesting and historically important videos.
