These are the biggesr springs i have ever seen.

It might be an expansion joint - a way for the pipe to flex as it expanded and contracted while full of steam.

Interesting how the vandals haven't wrecked this even though it's in the middle of the town and apparently easy to access.
Compare to the US where idiots destroy everything immediately.

You would need supports to hold up the rest of the building, and these kinds of supports are pretty normal. Often times they can be covered by ceilings but here clearly they wanted to keep the space more open and higher.

Obviously there was no need to do this nicely as they put the bars in place to seal the building after it was shut down. Then either explorers cut them open or someone else needed to get in for some reason and they were sawed open.

this is so amazing picture ... and i love it :))
more picture must post like this :))

These are insulated copper windings, called a stator, and in the middle
this round thing is called the rotor, the rotor is attached on the turbine
and so making the electicity that we need.
It is a very fine example of craftmanship.

These chairs look as if they are waiting in expectation of being useful again.

Wow, look at all those open contacts!!! Built back when people knew better than to just go sticking their hands into stuff

I agree with you, ella - the symmetry is striking. Great shot!

I agree, that would definitly need to be saved

amazing!

Looks like whatever day it was shutdown, it was around 1:30 pm . . .
