Queen Street Mill Textile Museum
The worlds only surviving 19th century steam powered weaving mill
The worlds only surviving 19th century steam powered weaving mill. Bringing steam powered weaving to life.
On the outskirts of Burnley - a town once dominated by the textile industry, lies Harle Syke, the home of Queen Street Mill, the last surviving, operational steam powered weaving mill in the world. Owned by “The Queen Street Manufacturing Company” the mill is a time capsule of the late Victorian age, which produced cloth using Victorian steam driven power looms until its closure in 1982.
Discover the story of cotton cloth production. Whether you're interested in local or social history, textiles and textile machinery or just looking for an afternoon out with a difference, the sights, sounds and smells of Queen Street Mill brings the textile industry vividly to life!
