If anyones into Steam this is a cracking day out. As well as the big pumping engines there's plenty of smaller engines to see and a nuclear bunker. The place is very camera friendly and you get invited into the vaults to have a look at the pumps in action. Wide angle lenses are a must if you want to get a full shot of the big engines.
