Ellenroad Ring Mill, Newhey
Up for sale and closed up. The only parts to survive are the engine house, boiler house, pump room and chimney. The rest is history. This led to a "get off my land" moment with a bare-chested youth. The picture was worth it though.

Ellenroad Ring Mill
Does what it says on the tin!
These old photographs of long gone mills make me misty-eyed.
I wish I had taken a lot, lot more.

Ellenroad Ring Mill
Built as a mule spinning mill with a four cylinder triple expansion engine. It suffered an horrendous fire and was rebuilt in 1921 as a ring spinning mill. That required more power and the engine was rebuilt as a more powerful twin tandem with about 2,500 horsepower.

Large mill engine, Ellenroad Ring Mill, Newhey
This was taken during the earlier days of its preservation before the safety barriers had been erected. The blued (planished) steel is not quite as good these days. Moisture is lethal to the finish and once it's rusty you can polish it back to bright mild steel but the blue colour is gone forever.

Ellenroad Mill Engine - Lancashire Boilers
Looks are deceptive as the nearest boiler is cut in half at the back! The furthest runs the steam machinery on running dates. Originally the mill had five boilers.

Victoria & Alexandra
This is a view taken in front of the driving floor.
The governor on the right controls the speed of the engine
through the cut-off valve gear on the high-pressure cylinders.
Steam pressure and vacuum gauges can be seen in the
centre with the flywheel behind.
This is two images stitched together to give a panoramic view of
the two engines Victoria & Alexandra.

Oiling the wheels!
Engine tenter at Ellenroad Engine House. The engine is running at about 48 rpm and there is slight blurring of the crosshead assembly due to motion. The tenter is actually standing a coin on edge to demonstrate how vibration free this huge brute is.
