Ellenroad Steam Mill Museum

Where else to go on a cold Sunday morning but somewhere there's a working steam engine. The Ellenroad Steam Mill Museum is home to the only fully-working cotton mill engine with its original steam-raising plant. Here you can see the 3,000 horsepower Victoria and Alexandra (1892), a coal-fired Lancashire boiler and other machines, like the Whitelees beam engine, still working after more than 160 years!
I cannot claim to be a steam enthusiast but this was a very impressive piece of kit.
