Probably left one winter years ago, these are now all rusted and the insulation ruined as the spring time submerges them in water around the back of the water treatment plant.

Onboard HMS Belfast
HMS Belfast is the ninth of ten Town-class cruisers; begun at the end of 1936, Belfast was launched March 1938 (on St Patrick's Day. After striking a mine in November 1939, Belfast spent two years undergoing repairs and improvements, finally returning to service in November 1942. Throughout 1943, Belfast was involved in escorting Arctic convoys to the USSR; in December 1943 Belfast was involved in the Battle of North Cape, during which it assisted with the sinking of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings; the following year Belfast was redeployed to the British Pacific Fleet, remaining in the Far East until 1947 when it returned to Portsmouth and underwent a refit. At the end of 1948 Belfast was based at Hong Kong and became the flagship of the 5th Cruiser Squadron, and returned to combat during the Korean War between 1950-52. Upgraded and modernised between 1956-59, Belfast moved into reserve in 1963, then marked for disposal in 1971, only saved with the formation of a private HMS Belfast Trust that took possession in July of that year. Initially an independent museum, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978.
Birches level was driven in 1819 to intersect the Hamnook vien, it however never connected. The level is driven through solid rock and ends at a forefield after approximately 700 ft. The level was also known as the Whey level as the creamery, that was located close by pumped the whey from the production process into the level. The remains found within level are the dam walls used to retain the whey and associated pipework used to pump the whey from the creamery.
Yet another set of pipes from an organ. This was one I saw in Melford Church on the way home from Woodbridge.

Scenes from Broseley Pipeworks. Ironbridge Gorge Museums
KIln. Where clay pipes were fired, stacked in saggars (clay boxes).
Broseley was famous for making the extremely long aldermen and churchwarden pipes that were popular in Victorian times.
The museum was created after the Ironbridge Group obtained the building, which had been locked up in the 1960s and abandoned, with all its works and half-finished jobs intact.
Copper and plastic pipes. I've got to do a little plumbing tomorrow. Tomorrows picture could be 'Flood in the Kitchen'. This is an effort at something different.
