Oak Mount Mill, Burnley
Cotton weaving shed that closed 1979. The horizontal cross compound steam engine survives in situ and is opened several times per year. The engine is in the tall building to the left of the chimnney. This latter is one of the finest in Burnley.

Oak Mount Mill, Wiseman Street
A former cotton weaving shed that retains its magnificent chimney and a preserved steam engine that I missed seeing run by days (the boiler was still warm to the touch). The chimney is 37 metres tall and Grade II Listed. The engine house and its engine are a Scheduled Monument. The single storey weaving shed is just visible to the right.

Information from Colin Bowden: - Horizontal cross compound gear drive steam engine. Probably built by W. & J. Yates, Blackburn in 1887. Rebuilt by Burnley Ironworks Co. Ltd., Burnley, as works No.99 in 1912. New high pressure cylinder by Cole, Marchent & Morley Ltd., Bradford in 1947. Stopped when the mill closed in 1979. Preserved. Cylinders are 17.5/8" & 30" x 42". Corliss valves on the high pressure cylinder with governor-controlled trip gear and a simple slide valve on the low pressure cylinder. Steam pressure: c.140-150 psi, 60-62 rpm, 350 horsepower. Flywheel: 14ft diameter. This view is from by the low pressure crank looking towards the cylinders.

The low pressure piston tail rod operates the single acting air pump of the combined jet condenser and air pump assembly that occupies the left hand half of the image. The slide valve tail rod operates the smaller boiler feed pump that has the 'inverted teardrop shaped' air vessel mounted above it.
