Description: | There are artefacts relating to many Bristol trades and industries such as the Wills collection of Tobacco antiquities, which complements the production machinery, samples and tools of tobacco production.
The industrial history of the city is further represented by dockside cranes in situ, of which there are four elecrtic and a Fairbairn steam crane of 1876. The cranes were all built by Storhert and Pitt of Bath, whose company archive is also held.
There is also the Iron Duke rubber calendering machine of 1848. | Subjects: | Science & Industry | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Prince's Wharf
