Bandstand in Letcliffe Country Park

No ordinary bandstand, this. There is no roofed structure as one would expect, just a focal paved areas overlooked by an auditorium consisting of a quadrant of terraces separated by privet hedges. Whether it is actually used for live performances is not known.

Bancroft Mill Engine

Seen at the beginning on this engine's period in preservation after the weaving shed closed in 1978 and was subsequently demolished leaving just the power plant. The engine was built by William Roberts of Nelson and commissioned in 1920. It is a horizontal cross compound with rope drive to a second motion shaft that passed into the weaving shed. This view is from the crank end of the low-pressure side.

Bancroft Mill Engine

Bancroft Mill was a cotton weaving shed that opened in 1920 and was closed in 1978. The shed was demolished but the engine house, boiler houses and a garage remained on site along with the chimney. The shed was driven by a horizontal cross compound steam engine with Corliss valves and rope drive. This view shows the high-pressure cylinder.
