Proctor's Mechanical Stokers - Hammerton Street Iron Works - Burnley

Abbreviated Caption
Page 1 of 2 of a quotation for a screw type fuel elevator by Proctor's. The quote was accepted by J. Nutter and Sons and the equipment was installed which continued in service until the mills closure in December 1978.
Even though the mill is now a working steam museum, the fuel used is wood and the fuel elevator is no longer on site.

Many thanks to Bancroft Mill Engine Museum for perm

Date 27th August 1968
