The Engine Room’s Second Motion Wheel

Holmes Mill, Clitheroe, Lancashire, UK.

Still in the engine room, the second motion wheel can be seen at the far end of the room. Driven by ropes from the main engine (Elizabeth), it turns the main drive shaft which provides all the power needed to run the drive belts’ operating the mills looms. More tables and chairs for customers to enjoy food and drink. Well worth a visit.
