Bancroft Mill Engine 2024
Lancashire
The mill is one of the most important mill complexes in the UK and has been described as the finest late era mill. It is almost unique in being an intact double mill complete with engine houses, mill lodge and chimney. As a result it has been Listed at Grade II*. A major feature of the mill is its a twin, horizontal cross compound engine of 1800 horse power, possibly the last surviving engine to have been placed within a mill and the largest of its type.
