The Long Shop Museum

This is the Long Shop museum, dedicated to R.Garrett and sons. The works built farm machinery and tools exported all over the world. Parts for Garrett locomotives were also made here. It is even said that this was the first production line. Now this is the only part of the once expansive works site. The shed to the bottom left is a new addition for Sirapite (in the picture). The concrete area (now a car park for the museum) was the site of a gas holder.
