I've had some great visits to local museums, events and railway lines this Summer. I guess my luck couldn't hold.
On the canal not far from us stands Stockton Brook Waterworks .
I've been dying to see inside, and for ages have been looking forward to their open day.
Unfortunately, although I was there for an hour, I could never find anyone free to talk to me, and there was a total dearth of information boards to tell you what you were looking at. Hence no captions.
There was obviously a lot of chat going on between people who already knew each other, and other attendees saw it as a great success. It left me feeling slightly depressesd and if the fault was on my side, though a visit to the Stafford Model Raily Show the next dispelled that thought. Still, I got some nice picture, although the mood of them sums up how I was feeling.
