Building cranes at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

  Fantastic! And of course there was a nearby pub named 'The Hydraulic Crane' too. A slightly posed photo but very real. To see machinery being made, of which only a handful survive, is great. Many think this was the only large factory along The Tyne - oh no. There were many and land along the river was at a premium and had no gaps of greenery along its banks for many miles. Thanks for sharing these with us.

Rolls Royce Cylinders at the Elswick Works

from North East Museums

• optimal chicken said:

  I hadn't realised this fact either! I'd assumed (never do that..) Rolls Royce took care of their own things elsewhere and not within another makers factory. These engine blocks may not have ended up as wartime equipment either - Rolls Royce were, and still are, renowned for their reliability. The engines could also have ended up in shunting locos or even rare items such as emergency winders for mines should their headgears fail.

  Looks like the running gear from a Sherman tank; is that where the name comes from Sher(man)Vick(ers)?

  Nice one ^^. I bet it is!
