This Mill was featured in the film "The Kings Speech" and we thought that it would be nice to go and see if it really looked like that - we were not disappointed. We did not know what to expect as we walked towards the entrance -the door opened and as you enter you receive a lovely warm welcome from the volunteers who help there. You start to browse at a leisurely pace then you hear the noise of the large steam engine starting up, and the building comes alive and transports you into the past, The huge engine called "Peace" is mesmerizing as loads of moving parts move smoothly to set all the looms below working, you leave the engine house and go into the weaving shed 300 machines all driven by steam. then after that part of the building move on to all the other different types of machines used in the 1800;and 1900's - and all still in perfect working order, this is not just a "man thing" it is fascinating for all the family.There is a small entry charge but it is affordable. ,

Used as one of the scenes in "The Kings Speech" this original cotton mill still in use as a museum is well worth visiting. See the original looms still producing material for tea towels etc. Make sure to see the original steam engine in action. Burnley residents go free of charge.

we had a wonderful day here at Queen Street mill. Fantastic set up and it is clear that a lot of effort is put into this place. Staff were very informative. Keep up the good work, hope this museum is going for many more years!

This is the last commercial steam powered textile weaving mill in the world and something everyone should see and experience. A fantastic working engine and breath taking weaving shed that cannot be seen anywhere else. The noise is unforgettable, like nothing else you will ever experience and gives an idea of what those working there in years gone by had to cope with every day. Very knowledgeable staff who are obviously real enthusiasts and a real credit to the place. Unmissable. So get down there and support this unique survivor!

We visited with our Grandson during half term, most interesting and informative. It would be hard to imagine what the noise level would have been with all the looms in operation, it was certainly quite deafening with only 2 looms going, (ear defenders are provided if want). All the staff were very helpful and pleasant, answering any queries which you may have had.We felt that the only thing which let it down was the choice of food in the café which was very limited.All in all though, a good place to visit.
