Holycombe



We visited holycombe for my daughter's birthday http://www.hollycombe.co.uk/. It's an amazing collection of steam machines and engines going back 150 years or so. The centrepiece is a fully working steam powered fairground which looked fantastic in the sunshine and is surprising fun but I was really drawn to the rusty old industrial iron in the repair yard. This is, I'm told, the last steam crane used on british railways, oooh! fancy that.
