Reverse Archimedes screw generating electricity for the grid

            Installed at the wonderful Morden Hall Park where the National Trust is experimenting with all things ecological. Archimedes screws were used in ancient times to propel water uphill (as in what used to be called the Hanging Gardens of Babylon but now known to have been located in Nineveh). This is one of the hidden gems of the park as you have to be on one of their (free) tours to see it. It is located behind the mill once used to grind snuff from compacted tobacco. (taking baccy up your nose turned out to be even worse than inhaling it into your lungs). It was one of nearly a hundred mills which polluted the River Wandle, which is now cleaned up and home to a variety of fishes. Thanks to brother-in-law Tom Woodland for a fascinating tour and lunch in the cafe.
