i believe having spoken to bham museum and currently working on their watermill down the road, that there may be posibilities for the burrel and aveling to be repaired (both need boiler work) to steam but money has been frozen since the swing to labour in the recent council elections. i gather now there is no prospect of this happening i will ask the question, though as i do have an ear currently. maybe one or both could go out on loan?
