Queens Street Mill

History
The Queen Street Mill Manufacturing Company was established in 1894, capitalised with ₤20,000 in £5 shares.

The company built the Queen Street Mill between 1894 and 1895. As money was scarce only one Lancashire boiler was installed, and it was six years before the second was bought. The weaving shed was single storey, and the mill frontage was three storey. All the looms were bought from Burnley companies, Pemberton and Harling & Todd, and have not been replaced. The mill was originally equipped with 900 single shuttle Lancashire looms capable of producing grey cloth.
