    Arrow Bamber Bridge Spinning Company - Wesley St. Mill, Preston - Feb 2011

    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.

    Somebody cant read....


    Onto the mill floors




    One of the very few relics left, a old saw bench


    From the floor view


    Power you say?


    No roof access so here is the closest view
    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
