Wool?

Wooleen's woolshed, built in 1922, used to be listed by the National Trust. It is described in a guidebook published in 2005, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed (as in blown away) in a storm a couple of years later. It was a steam driven system. A steam engine was used to power all the shears and this made it possible to get through 1,200 sheep in a day. There are no sheep on the station today.




Steam engine, made in Lincoln.
