Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley
Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley
This is a grade II listed former weaving shed with warehouse, engine house, boiler house and chimney. Nearest the camera, the three doors mark the boiler house. The gable end is the engine house with the warehouse beyond. The single storey block in the distance is the office block. Apparently under the pavement in front of the engine house is a small horizontal duplex rotative steam pump. This is now inaccessible. I would think it was either a fire pump or a pump to supply water for the boilers. Could have been for both. The mill is in multiple occupancy and part is used for producing felt for pipe insulation, which is still a textile use of sorts.
