I was delighted to visit Bolton Steam Museum which home to the largest collection of working textile steam engines in the country! The volunteers at the museum do a fantastic job maintaining the engines and I would highly recommend a visit.
The museum is open every Wednesday and Sunday (11am - 3pm) and will be holding open days on the following weekends where all of the engines will be operating under steam power; 28th – 29th October and 28th – 29th December. For more information, please visit their website:
