Queen Street Mill

Queen Street Mill is a historic textile mill located in Burnley, Lancashire, England. Established in the late nineteenth century, it is recognised as one of the best-preserved examples of a steam-powered cotton weaving mill. The site contains working looms, a steam engine, boilers, and machinery that demonstrate the technological development of textile production during the Industrial Revolution. Architecturally, the mill reflects the functional design of Lancashire’s industrial buildings, with large weaving sheds and carefully organised production spaces. Queen Street Mill is significant for understanding cotton manufacture, factory labour, regional industrial identity, and the preservation of Britain’s textile heritage.
