Description

In this video we visit an old Lancashire cotton mill. What did we find. We ventured up to Haslingden in Lancashire to Grane mill. A restoration project in progress. We took a look at the Lancashire boilers and went into the mill engine house. The triple expansion engine ran a big fly wheel that had a rope drive to drive the spinning mill machinery. Meanwhile back home i get my model steam engine running. Grane mill restoration project will eventually be a working steam museum. We catch it in its early stages of development. This is about the Lancashire cotton spinning mills and the Industrial history of the North of England.
