Aqueduct Mill, Preston
This is a confusing and much knocked about mill. Dickinson's book on Preston Mills states that it was started as a weaving factory in 1842 or thereabouts, was a 'combined' mill by 1851 and suffered a fire in 1868. It is believed it was built to its current form in 1887 when new boilers were installed. It is noted to have had a large horizontal tandem compound engine of about 1000 horsepower. This was rope drive but must have replaced an earlier gear drive engine (probably a beam engine) as the bracket on the end gable (not visible in this view) is consistent with a vertical shaft, implying gear drive. The block on the far side of the tower was originally six storeys but has been reduced to one.

The block on the closest side of the tower was originally six storeys but has been reduced to one. There is a five storey block on the far side of the italianate water tower.
