Visited with BA and Scrappy
Spot of history.
Bamber Bridge Spinning Company (New Mill or Wesley St. Mill)
Opened in 1907, this was perhaps the most spectacular of the local mills, and with
135,000 spindles it was one of the largest in the Preston district.
Though the great tapering chimney is long gone, the spectacular mill engine house (3000hp) survives at the
rear of this essentially modern steel-framed building.
The mill’s closure was announced in 1959.
