Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. At the posted coordinates is the Iron Duke its self which you will need to visit This cache is to commarate the return of the Iron Duke back to Bradford On Avon The Iron Duke is a big calender machine that was used to roll sheet rubber and cotton together and vulcanise them to make waterproof fabric. This was the actual machine with which Stephen Moulton started the rubber works in Bradford and is important not just in Bradford’s history, but in the history of technology. It was named after Arthur Wellesley the Duke of Wellington, hero of Waterloo and Prime Minister. It has been in store in the Industrial Museum in Bristol, in pieces, since it was stopped being used. It is large (the rollers weigh three tons each) The Iron Duke was dismantled and stored at Bristol Museum, in the hope that one day it could be restored and put on public which after a lot of money and time put in to it the Iron Duke was unveiled, by my Dad who used the machine in the factory, on 24th September To find the cache answer the question below.
