Bolton Steam Museum from the mezzanine
This is a view along one of the two aisles in this former cotton store. Down the left hand side from closest to furthest we have: - A collection of small engines, the 250 horsepower inverted vertical compound from Diamond Ropeworks, a J & W McNaught horizontal tandem compound and the McNaught compound beam engine from Cellarsclough Mill. Down the right hand side you can see the boiler front and feed pumps, the fire pump from Fern Mill and the vertical single cylinder from Redfearns glassworks, Barnsley. Hidden behind the vertical is a collection of barring engines and a Robey uniflow. This is without a doubt one of the finest collections of mill engines and ancillaries in the UK.
