点评:Wow, what a pleasant surprise! We were staying in Hawes and went on a walk which took us through Gayle. We were fortunate that it was Thursday and as we passed Gayle Mill realised it was open for tours, so we 'popped in', expecting it to be an interesting half hour stop. How wrong we were! We were treated to an outstanding tour of the mill and its history by an engaging and well informed guide. We saw the machines working and heard the history of the building along with stories of people and characters from the past. The tour lasted 90 minutes and we were invited to stay on to have a cup of tea and further chat. A truly brilliant afternoon, interesting, educational and entertaining. Do go and support these amazing volunteers if you are in the area on Thursdays, they are passionate and welcoming and the stories they tell will interest everyone, not just engineers or industrial historians.
翻译:哇,真是个惊喜!我们住在霍斯,散步经过盖尔。幸运的是,那天是星期四,当我们经过盖尔磨坊时,发现它开放参观,所以我们“顺便进去了”,以为会是一次有趣的半小时停留。我们错了!一位引人入胜且知识渊博的导游带我们参观了磨坊及其历史。我们看到了机器在运转,听到了建筑的历史以及过去人物的故事。这次参观持续了 90 分钟,我们被邀请留下来喝杯茶,进一步聊天。一个真正精彩的下午,有趣、有教育意义且娱乐性十足。如果您星期四在该地区,一定要去支持这些了不起的志愿者,他们热情好客,他们讲的故事会让每个人都感兴趣,而不仅仅是工程师或工业历史学家。
