Great little film that, love the Fens.
Wonderful !!
Thanks for posting. Weirdly, I’ve just been reading about Fenland water pumps in windmills in my 1975 edition of The Shell Book of Inland Waterways. 👍
This video sometimes minds me of East Anglia.
With heat exchangers, steam power can be MUCH more efficient than it used to be. Willi B. in Canada.

The reason I do not like this video, All the measurements are NOT in Imperial and should be. Britain has left the EU now. If you can't change then please convert to impeial measurements, as many countries still use them. Shame this looked like it could have been interesting.
