Murphy's Machinery

Established in 1930! Murphy's were industrial parts manufacturers who made tools, belt driven machinery, transmissions and electrical equipment. They specialized in items for tanners and leather manufactures. They finally hung up their tools around 2002.

Visited with my better half, and some other random peeps. I'm not sure what the state of play is here now, but I hope it remains as it was on our visit. It's only a small site, but what lies inside is well worth seeing . If chains, cogs and pulleys float yer boat! Then It's win all the way. Some really nice things to photograph too. It really was a neat little explore. I hope you enjoy.
