Queen Street Mill Textile Museum

Queen Street Mill is the last surviving 19th-century steam powered weaving mill in the world.

Relive the days when cotton was king and watch our weaving technicians demonstrate how to turn cotton into cloth on our heritage looms; visit the weaving shed with over 300 Lancashire looms and hear the clatter, witness the neat and smells and take the opportunity to see our magnificent steam engine ‘Peace’.

Learn about the lives of people who worked at the mill and trace the journey of how cotton yarn was transformed into woven calico.
