Summary
COI synopsis: Engineer Jonathan Minns has spent the last six years restoring a 19th century pumping station, both as an example of the expertise and inventiveness of the last century, but also as an inspiration for the young engineer of today. Vicki Luke reports from the Brighton Engineerium on the work of a group of lucky engineers who are spending a fascinating month working with Jonathan Minns.
