Bolton Steam Museum, last engine coming together.
Compare this with the photograph taken 5 months earlier - Image This rare vertical cross compound is substantially complete although there is still much detail work to complete. When finished, this museum will house one of the best collections of textile related steam engines anywhere.

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.
