Summary

[edit]
Description

Queen Street Mill in Harle Syke, a suburb to the north-east of Burnley, Lancashire, was built in 1894 for the Queen Street Manufacturing Company. It closed on 12 March 1982 and was mothballed, but was subsequently taken over by Burnley Borough Council and used as a museum. In the 1990s ownership passed to Lancashire Museums. Unique in being the world's only surviving steam-driven weaving shed.

This was a large weaving shed- a thousand loom shed which introduced economies of scale. It was reduced in size during the renovation but over half remains having Pemberton and Harling&Todd looms laid out in 8 loom sets.
