Murphy’s Machinery, Menston, April 2011

[Only2Eyes]

Please accept my apologies for posting another report from Murphy's. I wasn't going to but I'm bored and we haven't had a Murphy's report for at least a week.

I visited here in April with ZerO81 and HiddenShadow following a trip to High Royds (like you all did). It is a great little wander. I hadn't been to GB's at the time but now having been there I can understand why it is viewed as a mini version of Sheffield's finest. Murphy's made all sorts of stuff after they started trading in 1925 - tools, belt driven machinery, transmissions etc. There doesn't seem to be a firm date on when it closed but judging by the 'drawings', which ZerO spent hours photographing :lol:, it must have been the 70s or early 80s.

There are more opportunities to be bored in the usual places.

Thanks for enduring :thumb
