#AdoorableThursday
A surprisingly elegant door for the Municipal Engine House.
The House was built around a Robey engine used to pump sewage into the sea in Littlehampton over a century ago.
We have to take the roof off if we need to extract the engine...
It takes a lot of teabags to keep over 400 volunteers happy!

We have a lot of crows nesting on site.
That's our defence for reposting this.
It's often difficult to find something for #FindsFriday, especially as other peoples' finds are usually excavated.
However, we found... THESE!
Wheelbarrow wheels. Late 19th century. Bet not many other places can claim similar finds!
RANDOM FACTOID:
From: MerriamWebster When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called 'footage.'
