Water-wheel driven tilt hammers at the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, Sheffield, UK. This place is a preserved scythe manufacturing site, 18thC and earlier. Crucible-steel making, forging, assembly and grinding all on one site.
Lots going on today, 28th Mar. demonstrations of blacksmithing, wood turning, grinding etc. Live music, guided tours. No water wheels in action, though as the dam is being repaired.
