Adults £2, concessions £1.

First Sun in the month except Jan, 12 noon - 4pm.

The 1892 Ellenroad Mill has gone but its Engine House remains and holds inside the Alexandra and Victoria engines - the largest steam mill engines in the world.  When the site is open the display of power from these steamed up leviathians is awesome.  There's a pleasant picnic area too in the shadow of the 60m (200ft) chimney.
