Unexpected and amazing history from the iron age to the industrial revolution on a small farm in Northumberland.
Cragend Farm & Hydraulic Silo的点评
点评:This visit was booked through Historic Houses. I was interested in the connection to Cragside and Lord Armstrong whose experiments and development of hydraulics and hydro-electricity were ahead of their time.
Lou and Shaun bought the farm in a derelict state without knowing very much at all of the treasures they would unearth once they started their renovations. Lou took us on our tour and her knowledge and enthusiasm made what might seem a rather dry scientific subject very interesting. The transformation from a derelict farm to a home, a business and an amazing historic place of great interest to anyone interested in hydraulic engineering or Lord Armstrong, the man, should make this a visit worth making on many levels.
翻译:这次参观是通过历史故居预订的。我对克拉格塞德和阿姆斯特朗勋爵之间的联系很感兴趣,他们进行的实验和水力学及水力发电的发展都领先于时代。露和肖恩买下这座农场时,农场还处于荒废状态,对翻修后会发掘出如此珍宝几乎一无所知。露带我们参观了农场,她的知识和热情让这个看似枯燥的科学话题变得妙趣横生。从一座废弃的农场到一处住宅、一家企业,再到一座令人惊叹的历史遗迹,对于任何对水利工程或阿姆斯特朗勋爵本人感兴趣的人来说,这都是一次值得一游的体验。
