Track up to Netherwood Farm

The section up the slope has been reinforced with concrete to make it more durable, though the concrete has a good coating of mud.

Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley

A typical Burnley weaving shed, Listed Grade II. The warehouse is on the left with the gable ended engine house, dated 1891, in the centre and the bloiler house on the right. The chimney is associated with this mill. There is a small and rusty steam pump under the pavement by the engine house but we were told it is not easily accessible. The mill is in multiple occupancy.

Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley

A large weaving shed that is Listed Grade II and now in multiple occupancy. Nearest the camera is the single storey office block with the two storey warehouse beyond. The northlight shed is on the extreme left. In the distance on the right is the gable end of the engine house that is dated 1891. The chimney is part of this shed but has lost its cap. It was dull and drizzling.

Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley

A former weaving shed that is now in multiple occupancy and Listed Grade II. The two doors on the left are on the former boiler house. The northlight shed is seen in the distance on the right. It was dull and drizzling.

Stanley Mill, Burnley

This view is on Cleaver Street and shows the large northlight weaving shed that is part of the Grade II Listed complex. The edge of the warehouse block is included on the left. The downpipes indicate the location of the valleys in the northlight roof. It was dull and drizzling.

Chris Allen

Stanley Mill, Shackleton Street, Burnley

This is a grade II listed former weaving shed with warehouse, engine house, boiler house and chimney. Nearest the camera, the three doors mark the boiler house. The gable end is the engine house with the warehouse beyond. The single storey block in the distance is the office block. Apparently under the pavement in front of the engine house is a small horizontal duplex rotative steam pump. This is now inaccessible. I would think it was either a fire pump or a pump to supply water for the boilers. Could have been for both. The mill is in multiple occupancy and part is used for producing felt for pipe insulation, which is still a textile use of sorts.
