Excellent drawing Ian, it’s surprising how many bits of old engineering equipment are still around today even if the factories, locks, barns etc have long gone .

Old canal lock, Perlethorpe, Thoresby Park. It used to control the flow to a small mill's water wheel. It is still there, I pass it on some of my walks. The mill is long gone.
