BANCROFT Mill working steam museum in Barnoldswick will reopen on Sunday after being closed for a year and a half because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Visitors will be able to see the 650 HP Roberts engine which originally powered the mill, and a 300HP Smith Bros and Eastwood engine, rescued from a mill at Bradley near Skipton, running under steam power.
The mill will be open from 11am, with the engines running at intervals from 1pm to 3.45pm. The mill is suitable for all ages and some lucky youngsters may even be invited to start the Roberts engine.
There are also two weaving looms with a third in the process of restoration. The looms will be demonstrated during the course of the day, one of them weaving our souvenir tea-towels which can be bought in the gift shop. Only cash payments can be taken, the museum is also looking for more volunteers, to find out more, visit: http://www.bancroftmill.org.uk
