Bolton Steam Museum, Steam power museum in Bolton, England
The Bolton Steam Museum displays a collection of restored industrial steam engines within a former cotton mill storage building on Mornington Road.
The Northern Mill Engine Society established this museum to preserve steam engines from regional mills, including a Crossfield Mill Beam Engine from 1840.
Local volunteers contribute their time and expertise to maintain the engines and share knowledge about Bolton's industrial heritage with museum visitors.
The museum opens on Wednesdays and Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00, with special steaming events scheduled during bank holiday weekends throughout the year.
Visitors can observe the operational demonstration of various steam engines, including a rare single-cylinder horizontal Uniflow engine from Baltic Sawmills.
