Two mills, one early textile museum and a cafe all on one site.
Helmshore Mills Textile Museum的点评
点评:I visited the museum to view the large water wheel, this is part of the tour of the woollen spinning mill which took in the early textile machinery, the mill pond, and lasted just over half an hour. I then had time for a sandwich in the cafe before joining the second tour which was of the cotton spinning mill, again just over half an hour. Both tour guides were well informed and helpful and some of the machinery was run to show the various spinning operations. Cake and coffee in the cafe before visiting the early textile museum which covered the introduction of the factory system and the industrial revolution with a series of displays using 3 minute video presentations. On the day I visited there was a workshop for children making bird houses. An enjoyable day out.
翻译:我参观了博物馆,观看了那个大型水车。此次参观是羊毛纺纱厂导览的一部分,沿途还能看到早期的纺织机械以及工厂池塘,整个导览过程持续了半个多小时。之后我在咖啡馆里吃了个三明治,随后又参加了棉花纺纱厂的导览,同样也持续了半个多小时。两位导游都知识渊博且乐于助人,他们还启动了部分机器以演示各种纺纱工序。在参观早期的纺织博物馆之前,我在咖啡馆里吃了蛋糕、喝了咖啡。博物馆通过一系列时长3分钟的视频演示,介绍了工厂制度与工业革命的相关知识。我到访的那天,馆内还举办了儿童鸟屋制作工作坊。真是愉快的一天呢。
