It’s a model example of engineering excellence which Leeds once put on show in a bid to impress some of the world’s brightest minds.
Now a remarkably detailed recreation of the city’s historic Crown Point Bridge is among the fantastic feats set to be celebrated in a carefully constructed new exhibition at Leeds Industrial Museum. The incredibly precise model was originally displayed at the inaugural Great Exhibition, held in London in 1851, with the purpose of reaffirming Britain’s place as a global industrial leader.
They will be on show alongside more modern examples of engineering including the cylinder head from a Land Rover and a breathing aid designed and manufactured during the COVID-19 pandemic and used in more than 130 NHS hospitals. Also on display will be a vintage theodolite, used for measuring and surveying and an antique surveyor’s compass, also known as the circumferentor, used to measure horizontal angles.
