Looking for something to do this weekend, then you might be interested in this information sent to us by Rob Francis:
Leawood pump on the Cromford Canal will be in steam this Sunday and Monday – 23/24th March. Entry is free but donations are welcome.
This is a fantastic way of looking through into the power of the industrial revolution that shaped Derbyshire. Also fun for children to see the massive beam engine fully working (all that fire,oil and steam) drawing up water from the Derwent to fill the canal. All functioning as it did 160 years ago.
