Sentinel 4-wheel, 100hp vertical boiler geared tank Denis (W/No.9631 of 1958) with a loaded internal bogie cast carrying wagon at R.B. Tennent Ltd. (a branch of British Roll-maker's Corporation Ltd.), Whifflet Foundry, Coatbridge, in May 1980. The internal railway extended around the Whifflet and adjoining Meadow Foundry and served various moulding shops and workshops. Castings were moved around the site on internal 4-wheel and bogie flat wagons daily, and steam traction survived into the 1980s. The roll making foundry, when opened in 1857, was formerly known as Smellie's Engineering Establishment and was founded by a member of a long-established local family, Robert Tennent. Commencing on a modest scale, the foundry went on to become the largest roll making facility in Britain and the cast steel rolls were distributed worldwide. Cast steel locomotive wheels and miscellaneous iron and steel castings were also manufactured. R. B. Tennent was loyal to Sentinel products, after selling for scrap its conventional Andrew Barclay 1925-built six-coupled steam loco in 1957. The Sentinels were ideal for working in the confines of the foundry and workshops, where even some spare parts for the locos were fabricated, thus assuring their longevity into the 1980s. Having an original fleet of four, they continued to use Sentinel vertical boiler steam locos right into the early 1980s, until a diesel traction took over. Sadly the foundry closed in 1995 and was demolished shortly afterwards, although the adjacent Meadow Works of British Rollmakers remained in operation until 2003.

The Welsh National Slate Museum is located in Llanberis, and the exhibits and buildings are authentic pieces from when the Slate quarry was fully working. Slate mining began over 200 years ago, and at its peak more than 100,000 tonnes were excavated annually, employing about 3,000 men. Much of the machinery involved in the huge quarry was produced and maintained in the Slate mine engineering workshops.
Due to danger and difficulty in mining, as well as the increased instability of the millions of tonnes of debris, mining finally ceased in 1969.

PPL have been busy over the weekend, lots more during the week.
This is a group of shots that came from a visit to the local Foundry with my local camera club.
www.archibaldyoung.co.uk/ were great and loved the idea of us coming in for some shoots, and with places like this becoming more rare in the uk it as a great honor to have this opportunity.
This was our first outing together as a group and we had fun, some of the shots we wanted required lights on mono-pods (its a working environment with hot metals) so we worked as a team to get the shots we wanted.
Big thanks to Charlie Urquhart, John Wilkes and Janie Orr.. It was a pleasure to shoot with you all we got some great shots and I can't wait to do more shooting :).
Here is Britain's oldest manufacturing company established in 1570 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. It has been in continuous business since then and famously made the bells for Big Ben and the Liberty Bell in the US. Jack the Ripper would have walked past these premises on his grisly endeavours. The lashing rain when I photographed this just added to the atmosphere of the place. It's free to have a wander around inside and you can book a tour of the foundry.

The Dominion Foundry Site is a group of heritage industrial buildings in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The site was developed by Dominion Wheel & Foundries Limited, a rail parts manufacturer based in Toronto. The factory site was owned by Canadian Northern Railway and later by Canadian National Railway. The remaining structures on site consist of a foundry (153 Eastern; built 1950), warehouse (169 Eastern; built 1935), office building (171 Eastern; built 1930) and machine shop (185 Eastern; built 1917). These buildings were part of a much larger complex once engaged in building railway equipment, rolling stock, and machinery. In 2004, the site was added to the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory as having heritage significance.

The Melting Shop stands silent during the 2-week summer shutdown. This equipment was installed around 1982 to address pollution issues. It came secondhand from a foundry in the West Midlands which had closed.
