No. 1 The weaving shed is steam powered and has the whole set of line shafts and belts rattling away with a weaving demonstration in the foreground.
No. 2 Winding the cotton warps onto the beam ready for the loom.
No. 3 Old loom.
No. 4 & 5 The boiler which raises steam for the engine.
No. 6 The engine is called Peace.
No. 7 View of the flywheel through the main steam feed.
No. 8 the shaft between the two cylinders, Its a compound engine. You can see the other big red lagged pipe feeding the steam to the rear cylinder.
