Looking along the line from one of two extant footbridges in this area. The abutments of a third bridge on Billington Gardens, evident on older maps, can be seen in this photo.

Steam engine, Abbey Mill, Billington
A gear drive cross-compound mill engine used in a weaving shed and built c1885 by W & J Yates of Blackburn. This was removed into store in Haslingden but has subsequently been scrapped (2006)- another sad loss. This shows the emergency stop mechanism between the engine's stop valve and the high-pressure cylinder slide valve chest that is seen on the left. The horizontal arm with a weight on the end is connected to a valve in the pipe supplying steam to the engine. It is held open by a latch and closed by a spring to stop the engine. As it falls it hits the S-shaped lever below and opens the vacuum breaker. This slows the engine more quickly and prevents water being drawn into the low-pressure cylinder. The lever is released either by the overspeed governor through the horizontal rod above the slide chest or by the Simpson electric stop motion in the rectangular box above the weight. This latter can be operated from push buttons around the shed, However, by the time the engine coasts to a halt anybody caught in the machinery would probably have suffered quite a bit more - it is not instantaneous and there are no brakes.

Steam engine, Abbey Mill, Billington
A disused gear drive cross-compound mill engine used in a weaving shed and built c1885 by W & J Yates of Blackburn. This was removed in to store in Haslingden but has subsequently been scrapped (2006) - another sad loss. This view is with the photographer's back to the flywheel. The high-pressure cylinder with Varley's cross cut-off valve gear is to the left while the low-pressure cylinder slide valve chest is on the right. The two belt driven governors dominate this view. The top governor operates a pair of friction cones below that adjust the cut-off to compensate for changes in load. The bottom governor is a pure overspeed governor that trips a butterfly valve in the steam main to stop the engine. For those interested in a little more detail: - The cylinders were 16" & 29" bore by 4' stroke. The high-pressure cylinder had a slide valve with Varley's cross cut-off motion while the low-pressure cylinder had a simple slide valve. The engine had a jet condenser and the vertical air pump was driven off the low-pressure crosshead. The flywheel was 14' 6" diameter with a gear drive wheel bolted to the arms. The engine was designed for 250-350 indicated horsepower at 54 rpm.
