| 説明 | This is the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley, West Midlands.The museum was established in 1975, and the first buildings moved here in 1976. Since then a 26 acre site has been developed, with the unique conditions of living and working in the Black Country from the mid 19th century to early 20th century.It is off Tipton Road in Dudley.Canal Arm off the Dudley Canal at the Black Country Living Museum.There is a lot of water lilies and moss in the canal here.On the left part of the canal arm is the Rolling Mill.The rolling mill depicts a typical Black Country hand rolling mill in which iron and later, steel bars were reduced in size or changed in section.The iron bars are heated up in the cast iron furnace and then passed through the mill stands several times to reduce the size of the section.It was installed at Birchley Rolling Mills, Oldbury in 1923 using second hand parts and has been reconstructed at the Museum as it would have appeared around 1900.When in operation the mill is now driven by a modern electrical motor.On the right side is the Anchor Forge.The open-sided shed standing in the middle of the ironworks is the anchor forge which was rescued from Isiah Preston's in Cradley Heath.The steam-hammer was installed second hand in the 1920s to forge parts for ships' anchors and the other equipment including furnace and boiler also came from Prestons.The building was saved from Johnson's Rolling Mill site in West Bromwich.The iron billets are heated in the furnace and suspended from a crane in order that they can be manipulated beneath the steam powered hammer.The heat from the furnace also raises steam in the boiler between the furnace and the chimney and this steam powers the hammer which reduces the size of the iron and forges it into the shape required.Narrowboats - opposite is Fellows. Morton & Clayton Ltd - Peacock No 102.On the right, closest in shot is Harts Hill Iron Co Ltd.Also a sign for President & Kildare. A steam powered boat built in 1909.On the right arm of the canal arm is the Lifting Bridge. It was built between the Ironworks and the Boatdock was built across the railway transhipment basin at Lloyds Proving House near Factory Junction in Tipton. Huge weights near hanging on chains over the four pulleys balance the weight of the roadway, and the deck can be raised and lowered by operating a small hand-winch,The Lifting Bridge guards the entrance to the museum arm and prevents boats being removed. The flat deck of the bridge makes it easier for vehicles to cross the canal than if a fixed humpback bridge was used. |
