Description: | The engine in this woollen weaving shed was a Pollit and Wigzell (c.1900s), and was driven by numerous ropes. It was later converted for spinning with electrically driven units as seen, but it was partly weaving to its end in the early 1960s when the mill was sold, and much of the modern machinery was sold for use elsewhere. The photograph shows some of the ropes drives between the loom shafts originally driving in the shed. | Subjects: | Steam Engine Industry | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Wakins, George | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
