The Trencherfield Mill Steam Engine is one of the largest and finest working examples of its type.

Built over 100 years ago, this mammoth metal powerhouse was regarded as a feat of industrial engineering.

A triple-expansion four-cylinder steam engine by J & E Wood of Bolton built in 1907.

Churning out its massive 2,500 horse power to feed the ever hungry machinery of Trencherfield Mill, it played an instrumental role in Wigan’s industrial development.
