Its not a long line, but lots going on to see and plenty of movements around the stations.
. Well Worth the visit !

Bancroft Mill, Barnoldswick

27/07/2023 - A visit with a difference - Bancroft Mill Engine Museum, Barnoldswick. A ride out with "Preston Chicken Chasers" motorcycle club took us to this destination to the home of the largest working Mill Steam Engine in Lancashire.
Established in 1982,there aim is to maintain a link to the town’s cotton heritage, by preserving.
In the weaving shed they have three looms, one of which we believe was in use at the mill before it closed. They currently weave with the Cooper and the Pilling looms. The Pilling loom has a Jacquarette and is used to weave our souvenir tea towels, which you can buy in the shop, the Cooper loom produces a plain cloth, very much like the bulk of the production at the mill when it was in operation. Also on display is a large collection of artefacts from the weaving industry which brought so much employment to the region.
They have the original Lancashire boiler which powered the engine, driving all the looms and other machinery in the mill. There is a smaller Cornish boiler, which they now use on Steaming Days.
In a separate building they have a Smith and Eastwood engine, which ran Green’s Mill in Bradley until 1978. The engine was transported to there site early this century and was rebuilt by the volunteers, It ran again for the first time on site in 2017.
