Intresting stuff, never know what you're gonna find in them pennine moors.

Like the gennys. A factory I used to work in had a stand by...WW2 german e-boat engine...never knew of it being needed but used to fire it up every couple of months for a run, noisy but nice.

ps. Wish I could have filmed it with my mobile, trouble is it's best part of 40 years ago. Goodness knows what became of it.

Good video...


I love all that, abandoned places especially linked to electrikery...

Had a walk around an abandoned large industrial site switch room (More of a building than a room) and boiler house once. Some of of the switch room had suffered a fire at one point, been re-stored and re-instated. You could see all the evidence of it. Just find it all interesting poking around and having a wander. Its a rare these days to see places exactly how they where left many years ago as the pikeys have usually been round and stripped the place...
