Summary edit

Description

Queen Street Mill in Harle Syke, a suburb to the north-east of Burnley, Lancashire, was built in 1894 for the Queen Street Manufacturing Company. It closed on 12 March 1982 and was mothballed, but was subsequently taken over by Burnley Borough Council and used as a museum. In the 1990s ownership passed to Lancashire Museums. Unique in being the world's only surviving steam-driven weaving shed.

  • Steam was raised in two Lancashire boilers built by Tinker Shenton of Hyde. The first was installed in 1895, and the second in 1901 and it is this boiler that is in action. These twin furnace boilers that contained 5000 gallons or 22 cubic metres of water were fired by coal. There was room for 12 tonnes in the boiler room.
  • Coal feed hoppers, steam pressure gauges, water gauges, steam pipes
