STEAM up, steam up.

Coldharbour Mill sprung into action on Monday for its latest Steam Up – and families were out in force to enjoy the fine Bank Holiday sunshine.

During this unique experience, the mill's rare 1910 Pollit & Wigzell 300hp steam engine, 1867 Kittoe & Brotherhood Beam Engine and Lancashire Boiler operated under steam – as well as the fully restored water wheel built especially for the mill in 1821.
