Today we were in Maldon and decided to try and locate this Engineering Marker. The coords took us to a boundary fence with no entry visible. After visiting the information centre and the Archive Museum we were given directions to the Maldon Vintage Machinery Museum in Vincent Street. We were close the first time but there are not many signs around as the town does not allow them, preferring to keep the streetscape as original as possible. We asked the Vintage Machinery Museum volunteer if he knew of the sign and he led us straight to it. The sign is in a shed full of machinery and on the stair wall to the top level. On the top level of the shed is the Thompson Foundry Drawing collection including plans, drafting tables, glass negatives and other drawing objects from the Thompsons Foundry. Machinery is also on display and it is good to see it has been preserved for historical purposes. These coords are for the entry to a shed within the fenced Museum area S36 59.862 E144 04.308. The Museum is only open on Wednesdays 11.00 am - 3.00 pm, Saturdays 10.00 am - 4.00 pm and every 2nd Sunday of the month 10.00 am - 4.00 pm. Admission is free and well worth a visit as there are a number of sheds to wander through. The Marker is not visible from the boundary fences as inside the Museum. As there are no other logs we will claim FTF. TFTV
