My World is one where industry in the shape of engineering and cotton manufacture played a very important place in our lives and in our culture. Sadly the industries are no longer important but reminders are still with us.
Here at the Burrs Country Park is a reminder of our industrial past - machinery dating back to the 19th century.
The park is situated near to Bury centre on the site of now demolished mills - it houses a visitor centre and a canoe training centre.

I love big machines, especially old ones. They have a certain kind of elegance. Love the photo.
machine parts fascinate me when they are sitting lifeless and disconnected. Otherwise, they scare me.
great idea to put them in a park with a bit of history.
wonderfully captured image. i wonder what that tool is used for.
have a lovely week.

Are the mills totally gone now? I bet that many of the old machines are interesting to photograph. I hope lots of examples of the machinery are on display somewhere for all to see and enjoy.
Interesting photo, nice colors and composition
