| Packed full of sights, sounds and smells
to stimulate the imagination, Queen Street Mill was Europes last commercial
steam powered textile mill. Visit 'Peace' our remarkable steam engine which
powers the 300 looms in the weaving shed. Discover why weavers learnt to
lip read and use sign language over the deafening noise of the loom. Meet
our mill workers from the 1960's and learn about mill life and work before
and after the introduction of the welfare state. This is a unique resource
for Britain since 1930. |
