19. Live Steam Engines | Bancroft Mill Lancashire

Two magnificent, restored Mill Engines in action, powered by steam raised from a Cornish boiler. Bancroft Mill, the last weaving shed built in Barnoldswick, Lancashire was commissioned in 1920 for James Nutter & Sons, closed in December 1978 and was subsequently demolished. The engine house, chimney and boilers were preserved, as a working steam museum, which opened to the public in 1982. The Mill engine was built in 1919 by William Roberts and Sons. Also on site, is a Smith Brothers and Eastwood engine, re-located from Cross Lane Mill, Bradley, Yorkshire after closure. Visited 8th October 2023.
