Lode Mill sits on the grounds of Anglesey Abbey House and Gardens in Cambridgeshire, and has been in operation for a couple of centuries. Most of its current working parts are about 150 years old.
However there has been a mill on this site for around a thousand years. A mill is referred to here in the Domesday Book.

"Lode is a small village in East Cambridgeshire on the southern edge of The Fens. It lies just north of the B1102 between Quy and Swaffham Bulbeck, 8 miles (13 km) to the north east of Cambridge. It has the highest number of startups per capita of any area in the United Kingdom." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.
Now on Instagram.
Lode Star is the only remaining GWR 4000 Class locomotive. It is preserved at the National Railway Museum in York, UK.
Lode Star was designed by George Jackson Churchward and was built in 1907, one of the first locomotives in its class to be built.
The design of the locomotive was influenced by de Glehn, a French engineer. He used four cylinders on his locomotives, which Churchward copied. By using four cylinders it meant the locomotives were both powerful and fast.
Lode Star survived into the British Railways era, and was finally withdrawn in 1951. At this point it had covered 2,005,898 miles. Lode Star was preserved at the Great Western Museum in Swindon from 1962, and was transferred to the National Railway Museum in York in 1992, where it was a static non-working exhibit. In 2010 Lode Star was moved to Steam Museum in Swindon, as a static non-working exhibit. In November 2015 it was moved back to the National Railway Museum.
You'll probably notice that I'm posting pics of the Upper Valley Disposal & Recycling yard shortly after r6man2 posted pics of the same yard. I do not mean to compete or infringe on copyrights in any way,I merely mean to post pics of the yard from some different angles to show some other trucks I saw.
Be sure to see my notes,and don't forget to give me your opinion in the comments section below! :D

This truck is owned by the City of Norfolk, VA, Department of Waste Management. It is used to collect household garbage.
This picture is from a slide show I posted on YouTube:
Designed by GJ Churchward, GWR Star class no. 4003 was built in 1907. Following withdrawal in 1951, the locomotive went on display at Swindon in 1962 and is now resident at the NRM in York.
FPN669, a very nice example of a well kept Series One 86" Land Rover dating from around 1951.
Always the nicest ever looking Land Rover in my opinion, I shall treat myself to one of these in due course :-)
displace the borders
of the human races
we're much better as mutts
who don't know their places
from the fire of the faithless
grinding down our social graces
goodness and godlessness embraces
if I ever have a daughter, her blood will be
one-tenth of everything in the salty sea
in the coppery blood, the murky love
French, Cuban, Dutch, Danish
a mindful mirror for when she's feeling faceless
a shyness shining, a beauty beautifully binding
in the mother lode of genetic code
the refining fire is blinding

E mi ricordo il tuo sorriso e i tuoi occhi che non si staccavano dai miei mentre ridendo mi dicevi "La prossima volta prendi il pullman".
Non l'ho fatto perché non potevo sbagliare. Perché non potevo permettermi di sprecare un solo minuto di tempo.
E tutto perché - ancora per un po' - il biglietto non sarà di sola andata.
Tu, intanto, aspettami dietro ogni curva...

Ex GWR Star Class 4-6-0 No 4003 'Lode Star' stands in the main hall at York.
I understand that this loco is in the original livery, applied after its final overhaul. It looks immaculate.
