'Peace' Powering the last Steam Driven Weaving Mill in the World. This Horizontal Tandem Compound Condensing engine was built by W Roberts and Sons of Nelson in 1894 and powered the mill until the Queen Street Manufacturing Company closed down in 1982. Now Peace is preserved and can be seen working in her original location.
