1921 Newton, Bean and Mitchell Uniflow engine
This fascinating museum was established in 1974 on Moorside Mills, Moorside Road, Eccleshill, Bradford, BD2 3HP.
The original mill was built by John Moore in 1875 for worsted spinning. In 1919 the clock tower was built as a war memorial to those lost in World War I, and two floors were added. The mill was later sold to W & J Whitehead, who ran the ring spinning machine which is still in the spinning gallery. In 1970 Bradford Council bought the mill and it opened as a museum on 14 December 1974.
