| Queen Street Mill Textile Museum Burnley |
I visited Queen Street Mill Textile Museum yesterday. I must admit I love old mills. It is a unique survivor of the textile industry reopened in 1986. Based in Burnley it is a Grade I listed building. It is the only surviving steam-driven weaving shed.
I loved the building full of light from overhead windows but also the beauty of the machinery and materials. The patina and marks created by use intrigues me. It confirmed that I am inspired by industrial objects and their influence on our local history and our human relationship with it. They are practical objects but I find beauty in them and will be creating some artwork based on it.
