Queen Street Mill
AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION #AdventureInLancashire
Now part of The National Trust, Queen Street and Helmshore Mills and textile museums offer an insight into the Lancashire’s industrial heritage.
Queen Street Mill Featured in films such as The King’s Speech and Mike Leigh’s Peterloo, Queen Street Mill is a fantastic example of a textile mill, and currently the last surviving 19th Century steam powered mill in the world. The Grade 1 listed mill first began in 1894, when it was home to nearly 1000 looms and played a key part in Lancashire’s booming textile industry. Today you can step back in time and experience how it was when cotton was king, as you embark on a guided tour. Learn more about the mill’s steam engine ‘Peace’, the coal fired boilers and the weaving shed, as you witness the sights and sounds of Lancashire’s industrial past.
