Technically it IS transport...

[spannerdude]

it's part of a winding engine which carried people up and down a mine shaft...

The most important part of any machine...the part that makes tea!

C&C welcome

I'm sure they keep oil in those kettles, not tea! Helps make it pour a bit smoother if its warm.
Lovely light in there, where was this?

Very pleasing to look at. The colours are gorgeous.
So this is what used to lower me down the pit

Very nice

but where are the big flywheel and interesting engineered bits shots ?

It's Papplewick pumping station in Nottinghamshire.
It was one of the few days that everything is in steam so unfortunately the place was packed hence interesting shots of the flywheels and cylinders are more like shots of peoples backs. I'll have to go back when it's quiet.
The lighting is a mixture of daylight, flourescent, sodium, tungsten and arc lamps, a bloody nightmare for WB selection!
Oil in the kettle hey? That explains why the tea tasted so bad
