Albion Mills, Hazel Grove - steam engine
This site had been abandoned and left open for anybody to walk in. This was a long-disused horizontal cross compound mill engine built by S S Stott of Haslingden in 1903. It was installed second-hand in about 1929 and stopped about 1965. The high pressure cylinder has Corliss valves and is 12.5" bore and the low pressure has a slide valve and is 22" bore. The common stroke is 3'. The flywheel is 10' diameter. The engine was rated at 250 indicated horsepower. This view is from the crank end of the high pressure side with the connecting rod and trunk crosshead guide prominent in the foreground. The low pressure cylinder is on the right by the edge of the flywheel. The centre loaded governor is to Stott's own pattern. The nuts on the big end bearing cover are loose and somebody has probably stolen the top brass. This engine is now restored and in steam at the Anson Museum at Higher Poynton. See - Image

Albion Mill, Hazel Grove - steam engine
Horizontal cross compound by S S Stott of Haslingden. Built 1903 and now restored at the Anson Museum, Higher Poynton. This is the low pressure cylinder with a slide valve. The piston tail rod to the left operated the air pump. The mill was derelict and abandoned and I walked in unchallenged three times in the space of less than three months.

Horizontal cross compound steam engine built in 1903 by S S Stott of Haslingden. The high pressure cylinder on the right has Corliss valves and the low pressure on the left has a slide valve. The engine drove by flat belt from the pulley to the left of the flywheel. This rusty wreck is now fully restored and in steam at the Anson Museum in Poynton.

Another view of this abandoned site. It was pretty central in town but you could just walk in and be left alone.

Albion Mill, Hazel Grove
This was owned by A A Barton, wadding manufacturers who were minded to refuse access to the steam engine in the building with the projecting lifting beam. We were passing by and called in to find the site abandoned with the gates open. A ladder was found and access gained to the horizontal cross compound mill engine therein.
