Bury Bolton St. again with the Duke and the works shunting loco from Yates Duxbury Paper mill in Bury.
I've loved this nature reserve since my dad took me here when I was kid, it was a sunny day in May and the trout were rising and I've been obsessed with this place ever since.
The Knapp & Papermill nature reserve in Worcestershire.
Herbertshire papermill demolition 1908 after being bought by Carrongrove paper company.
On a cold February day locals gather for the event , perhaps worried about how they are going to put food on the table remember there was no social security then. Around 80 jobs were lost.
101 years later a group will gather on the same spot to witness the Carrongrove chimney demolition.
This was sketched from a drawing I found and modified to look like Leigh Brook at the Knapp & Papermill nature reserve in Worcestershire.
What a great time Joe (wnywaterfallers), Christy (Savage Gardener) I had here exploring Papermill Falls on the Silver Lake Outlet in Letchworth SP yesterday! There they are in action. This is a most unusual waterfall or waterfalls. This is the top part, then off to (your) left here is a dynamic chute. Below this long flat platform is another wide section which can be seen here on the right.
Some pictures would seem to indicate that it wouldn't be too hard to climb down the far side of the bottom waterfall, but when you're there you'd quickly decide to take the approved route which entails going back up to the top, walking down Trail 19, bushwacking a bit to the creek, then walking maybe .3 miles in the creek to the base of the larger falls.
Please help with names for these gents. Thanks to Gordon for these pictures. I need some help to tell what was happening here and what paper machines were at the end of the process.
Sincere thanks to Gordon and others for getting in touch with messages of support and pictures like these :)
The Snow Family. I am first in line on the left. Directly to the right of me is Jessica Lee Goldyn who has gone on to star in Broadway's current revival of "A Chorus Line." Papermill Playhouse is one of the best regional theatre's in the world. I am blessed to have worked there.

I had a bad feeling in my stomach when I took these pictures I just kept swearing but I knew inside that what was going to happen all the time was now coming to be and I felt sad.
Hello John,
What a magnificent photograph of this reciprocating steam engine in use at Stoneywood Mill. It must have been taken in the early 1900's. I don't know the maufacturer of the engine. The workings of all these horizontal steam engines were similar. The piston and cylinder casing is seen at the front of the photo. The piston in the cylinder was attached to a connecting rod which in turn was connected to the crank. The piston in the cylinder pushed and pulled the connecting rod backwards and forwards. thus causing the main shaft and wheels to rotate.
The centrifugal governor is seen sited between the piston casing and large wheels.
The motion of the engine rotating caused a system of weights to be forced out by the centrifugal force. These weights were also drawn in by the force of gravity, or springs.
When the weights were moving outwards they shut off steam, and when moving inwards they allowed more steam in.
This action kept the engine running at a constant speed.
All clever stuff.
John.
