Croal Mill - 2
Offices and gatehouse building. It was a crack in one of the elements of the far entrance in this picture that confirmed that the gray material forming the window surrounds and decorative elements is ceramic and not stone, although it is finished to look like the latter.

Croal Mill, Bolton
A Grade II Listed Edwardian spinning mill built in 1907. Designed by Bradshaw, Gass & Hope. The engine house with three tall round-headed windows housed a 1300 horsepower inverted vertical triple expansion engine by Yates and Thom of Blackburn in 1908. The engine was named Shelagh and had Corliss valve cylinders 21.5, 34 & 55" bores by 4' stroke. It ran at 82 rpm on steam at 160 psi and drove by 36 cotton ropes from the 22' 6" flywheel.
The Lumb governor from this engine is in the Birmingham Museums Store and the Shelagh nameplate is at the Bolton Steam Museum.
