Horizontal cross compound by S S Stott of Haslingden. Built 1903 and now restored at the Anson Museum, Higher Poynton. This is the low pressure cylinder with a slide valve. The piston tail rod to the left operated the air pump. The mill was derelict and abandoned and I walked in unchallenged three times in the space of less than three months.
