The Age of Steam

The Age of Steam was quite a big pleasure park for the area. Here you can see me getting in to a boat when I was not so old.

Delighted to see this. My children were very keen to visit place as often as possible.
 
I work near there, on the ind est, it`s really overgrown now, there was still one of the paddle boats sticking out the water last time I went down there, the buildings have been pulled down because people were living in them and there was a load of travellers set up camp there about 15 years or so ago, they were turfed out as they were nicking stuff from the shops and the ind est, didn`t the owner just run off with all the money one day so they closed it all down ? the trains and stuff were removed but everything else was just left, the shop was left with loads of bottles of orange juice etc in it, most of these were thrown into the lake, the bottom was covered in them, now the site is mostly used by teenagers getting drunk, people on moto-X bikes and old people walking dogs, maybe we could all have a forum picnic down there one day ::6:
