Providence Mill
These premises are now occupied by Skopos Design Ltd, who produce printed fabrics pricipally for the leisure and business market. This picture was taken on an open day when various processes including printing and quilting were being demonstrated. The mill also houses a restored steam engine 'Sara'; this however no longer drives any machinery.

Wm Greenwood, Providence Mills - steam engine
This horizontal tandem compound mill engine was disused in 1983 but was restored a few years later by Chris Evans and Paul Akrigg. It was then run on occasional open days but is now no longer regularly accessible and hasn't run for many years. It was built as a single cylinder engine by W & J Cardwell of Dewsbury (the only survivor) and compounded by Woodhouse & Mitchell of Brighouse. It is unusual in that it always appears to have run non-condensing.
I am not sure if it was on this visit that a group of us ran this engine after the boiler man asked us if we could run it. Fortunately one of our number had considerable experience in preserved stationary engine operation and we managed to safely warm it, oil it and run it for a few minutes. Being non-condensing made it relatively docile even off load.
