Description: | 'Retorts' are ovens in which coal is baked to release coal gas. Before the gas supply network was established, many companies produced gas on a small scale for their own needs in buildings such as this. Coldharbour Mill was a woollen mill using water, steam and gas power: it is now a textile mill museum. | Subjects: | Retort House Woollen Mill Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Leonard, I | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
