O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Dvanáctitisícitunový motor River Don Engine, postavený v roce 1905, dokázal pohánět celou ocelárnu a stále funguje při ukázkách s 11 otáčkami za minutu. Kelham Island se nachází na umělém ostrově vytvořeném ve 12. století k pohonu mlýna na obilí, který se později stal srdcem sheffieldské průmyslové revoluce.
Zajímavosti: Ukázka River Don Engine je čisté divadlo: 12 000 tun viktoriánského stroje duní k životu a otřásá podlahou pod vašima nohama. Můžete stát dost blízko na to, abyste cítili teplo a vůni oleje, když se rozjíždí vpřed a s dechberoucí silou couvá.
Insider tipy
- Stand near the front during the River Don Engine demo to feel the heat and vibration, but cover your ears, it's genuinely loud.
- The Little Mesters workshop area upstairs shows actual craftspeople at work, check the board for live demo times.
- Combine your visit with the nearby Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet for a full day of Sheffield's industrial history.
- The cafe does a decent sandwich, but the Kelham Island neighborhood has several excellent craft breweries for post-visit pints.
