Grane manufacturing mill steam engine, Haslingden on its last day 20 Dec 1978

A short record of one of the last great steam mill engines used to drive the cotton textile mills of Lancashire. Althoughthe images are a little underexposed, it still offers an important record of a bygone age. To 1000s of other heritage images from steam engines, mills through to Lake District scenery visit my website www.heritagephotoarchive.co.uk

It is a rev limiter to keep it from over reving.
