Looms from the company’s original mill at Grane.

This Willan and Mills loom made in Blackburn for Grane Manufacturing is one of the originals and dates back to around the 1880's. We have rescued 2 looms from 3 that had been seized up solid with numerous broken and missing parts, and will bring them back to a point where they will weave again. To view some of our mill’s looms running please visit Quarry Bank Mill where around 20 of our looms have been preserved and with some still weaving.

This year marks 40 years since the mill ceased manufacturing, we are still working on restoring the plant and are hoping to make signifigant steps in the next couple of years to run the plant under steam for the first time since 20th December 1978.
