Description: | A horizontal, twin tandem-condensing engine of 1903, made by the Burnley Ironworks Co for cotton weaving in Moss. The area was long noted for its large weaving sheds and numbers of looms, with weaving providing 75% of employment. The trade suffered badly from cheap imported cloth, and most of the weaving had ceased by the mid 1960s. Moss closed in c.1960 and all was scrapped. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Condensing Steam Engine Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Watkins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
