General notes
A view of the looms inside the weaving shed at Queen Street Mill taken around the time it closed as a working mill.

The looms form the final part in the cotton weaving process. Here, the warp yarn, contained on a beam, has the weft passed through it by the shuttle. This creates the cloth. The machines are driven by the mill power plant and are connected to it via leather bands that attach to the driving mechanism that runs above the shop floor.
