The largest mechanical puppet ever constructed in Britain visited Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge.'Man Engine' is a 36ft (11m) tall miner. It was
made to mark the 10th anniversary of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape being added to the Unesco list of World Heritage Sites.
Most of the tracks are gone and nature sure took most of the space back. Since only about 10 years have passed since the closing of this it's amazing to see how many bushes and trees have grown there.

"The grand Wolverine Diesel which stands ~10 feet tall. This engine was built in Bridgeport, CT in 1935 and generates 150 hp at 300 rpm. It's a marine-style engine adapted for industrial purposes. This engine was used for many years at the Thurston Ice, Oil & Coal Co. in Naugatuck, CT. Used in the ice manufacturing plant, it was both direct-coupled to a refrigeration compressor, and an alternator used to provide power to run other refrigeration units. The engine is five cylinder and has exposed valves trains. To fire this engine, it must first be turned over using compressed air. Manually lit cotton wicks in each cylinder provided the initial spark to fire the engine."
