Old haunts re-visited
Recently I worked with the Don Gorge Community Group to highlight a small piece of history on the river Don at Sprotbrough Lock.
I popped over to help the team install the sign yesterday … it had a few challenges, not least that the sign is positioned approx 3ft below road level and behind a wall … but, with a couple of 4m poles and some ‘graft’ we did it!
The finished sign looks great as it quietly informs passers-by about the Sprotbrough Water Engine and the man who built it, around 1700, Sir Geoffrey Copley.
