Ellenroad Ring Mill Engine, Industrial steam engine museum in Milnrow, England.
The Ellenroad Ring Mill Engine features two massive steam engines named Victoria and Alexandra, which generate 3000 horsepower through their twin tandem compound system.
Built in 1917 after a fire destroyed the original mill, the engines powered cotton production until the 1980s when the main building underwent demolition.
The preserved engine house represents Lancashire's industrial textile heritage, demonstrating the engineering capabilities that made British cotton manufacturing successful.
The museum opens its doors every first Sunday of the month for steam demonstrations, while regular visits occur on Tuesdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 15:00.
Multiple ropes connected to the enormous flywheel drove line shafts across each floor of the former mill, powering hundreds of cotton spinning machines simultaneously.
