Summary[edit]

Description
English: The museum that wasn't The Northern Mill Engine Society was given space in Atlas Mills at Bolton and erected an excellent museum in No. 3 Mill engine house and had a store in No. 4 Mill engine house. Having finished the one engine house it started to erect engines in No. 4. Under dust sheet in the background is a largely erected Robey cross compound. The beam and cylinder in the foreground belong to a McNaughted beam engine from Cellarsclough Mill, Marsden. The dark semi-circle at the back shows the location of the original engine's flywheel. Shortly after this picture was taken the whole collection from both engine houses was moved a short distance to the old cotton store. Morrisons paid for this move. The Society then re-erected all the engines and finally had the new (but not quite finished) museum back in steam in 2007. A major achievement for a few volunteers who have had little support from official bodies.
