Brewhouse Yard.

A project exploring life at the base of Nottingham castle

Bobbin Winding Exhibit

Brewhouse Yard and its 17th Century cottages tell the stories of some of the people who lived here over four hundred years. These are times of economic ups and downs, urban expansion and increasingly rapid industrial change. Visitors are invited to explore the homes of four families, each with a connection to Nottingham’s history of textiles – but the history of this area stretches back much further.

This Exhibit requires people to turn the two handles in a clockwise rotation to turn both motors at different speeds which is used to convert the bobbin of yarn into the form of a hank which can be used for transportation and storage

A wee bit Extra

This project was part of my full time Employment with FIFEX LTD (SCOTLAND). This Interactive was produced by the team of Exhibit Designers, whilst others focused on the panneling, graphics and mechanical. I used my experiance of electronics to create the control system

This Interactive exhibit is currently installed in the Brewhouse Yard directly below the main Nottingham Castle. You can visit a range of exhibits in these buildings
