"Elsie", Former Mill Engine at Bolton Steam Museum
A closer look at Image This is the most typical type of Lancashire mill engine of which many thousands were made. Originally built by J & W McNaught Ltd of Rochdale in 1902 for the Barchant Spinning Company in 1902, it was later used at Wasp Mill from 1917 until 1967.
The engine is named "Elsie"; many textile mill engines were named, often after members of the mill-owners family.

Bolton steam Museum 2009
The Northern Mill Engine Society's museum getting closer to a finished state. I'm stood on top of the roof over the workshop that suports a new starage area and a very nice air compressor. Bottom right is the front of a Lancashire boiler with assorted feed pumps. The big lump in the left middle distance is the inverted vertical compound from Diamond Ropeworks, Royton. The big red vessel is on the Fern Mill firepump.
This is one of the best collections of its type anywhere and an absolute must for anybody interested in stationary steam.
