Stott Park Bobbin Mill

This extensive working mill was begun in 1835 to produce the wooden bobbins vital to the Lancashire spinning and weaving industries. Although small compared to other mills, some 250 men and boys, some drafted in from workhouses, worked here in often arduous conditions to produce a quarter of a million bobbins a week. Guided tours are included in the admission charge, the last tour begins 0.5 hour before closing. Please call for details of steam days.
