Atlas Mills, Bolton - artefact
Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 20 Jun 1982
This was in the days when the Northern Mill Engine Society occupied the engine houses of Numbers 3 & 4 Mill and stored various items in the yard between. As I recall it, this was a motor driven compressor (or vacuum pump) by a foreign builder and no longer exists as it was really outwith the collecting policy. The mills have been demolished and a Morrisons supermarket occupies the land. The Society is relocated in the old Cotton Store and the museum is nearing completion and is better than ever.
