This museum in a warehouse by the former lower cotton mill houses a pair of Robey stationary steam engines. The smaller is associated with a pop bottling plant and is steamed from this boiler. The boiler is based on a Coltman vertical boiler but was built in the 1990s by Israel Newton of Idle, Bradford. The safety valve lifts at 80 psi but it usually runs at about 60 psi. There is also a Worthington Simpson duplex boiler feed pump.
