Come and see the magnificent Roberts engine, with its two cylinders and 16 foot flywheel which originally powered the mill driving some 1,250 weaving looms via its main shaft some 263 feet in length.more Bancroft Shed was the last of 13 cotton mills to be built in Barlick when it opened in 1920. It remained in the hands of the Nutter family until 1958 and was the last mill in Barlick to close at the end of 1978.
In addition we have another unique engine rescued from a mill at Bradley outside Skipton. We have been restoring this over more than ten years and it it now once again running in steam.
