Vertical Cross-Compound Engine, Bolton Steam Museum
This is a vertical cross-compound engine. It is a very rare design with long "parallel motion" rods to guide the piston and it is believed to be the only survivor of this type in the UK. The drive to the mill was taken via two large leather belts running on the rim of the large flywheel.is .
It was rescued from Messrs Jonas Kenyon's Dearneside Mills in Denby Dale when the company closed down in 1977 but it lay rusting in outside storage for 30 years. Eventually, when it was finally threatened with imminent scrapping, NMES brought it to Bolton in 2008 where it was rebuilt.
The original engine-maker is unknown, but it is known that it was rebuilt from earlier parts and installed at Dearneside Mills in about 1900 with the assistance of James Lumb & Sons of Elland, who were better known as makers of steam engine governors, recorders and other accessories.

Lancashire Boiler Front, Bolton Steam Museum
This is the front plate from a "Lancashire" boiler. The Lancashire design which was patented by Fairbairn and Hetherington of Manchester in 1844, was the most common type of boiler used to produce steam in textile mills. A complete Lancashire boiler is over 30ft long, too big to be preserved in its entirety at the museum and so the exhibit is just the front-plate, which gives some indication of how it might have looked in a boiler-house.
This particular boiler was obtained from Halliwell Mills, Bolton and was manufactured by Hick Hargreaves Ltd of Bolton in 1906 for a working pressure of 160 psi (
