South Leeds Middleton and Thwaite

As part of Heritage Open Day, we went to Thwaite Mill Watermill.  Unlike most other mills, textile manufacturing, Thwaite was industrial material processing, eg chalk and flint, this is much more interesting.  A lot of the machinery are still operational.  They also did a demonstration with the steam crane.  In comparison, much smaller museum than Armley.

While we were in South Leeds, we also stopped by the Great Middleton Park Show.  It was a small show, with quite a few religious stalls.  We saw owls and ferrets, brass band and the usual.  I heard so much about produce growing competition, and I have finally seen some.
