Just a few of the many smaller exhibits on the walls of the museum. I have a rather tenuous connection with the engineering heritage that they represent. The plaque at the top tells us that the consulting engineer for Trafford Power Station was C S Allott - I worked at one time for Allott & Lomax as they had then become - and the pressure gauge was made by Babcock and Wilcox, and again I worked at one time for part of the Babcock group.
