What a beautiful sight,i worked in a mill in Kirkham Lancs-the looms were all line shaft driven by a great steam engine,more like a living entity than mechanical-how sad to see all the mills chimneys etc destroyed-must go to see this if possible

I shall be posting more videos on Lancashire, and Lancashire's textile industry in the future. KenH2

@spookysiy i recorded the sound of the trencherfield mill engine. I had to get a special microphone to get the best possible sound quality. I still have the sound file saved on my computer xD
