Exhibit Histories
The Collection
Coldharbour Mill was powered by steam from 1865 until its close in 1981. Much of this equipment still exists in its original context and can be seen running on steam if only for demonstration purposes several times a year by members of the Steam Volunteer Group.
Most of the steam exhibits are original to this site at Uffculme, others have been brought here from Fox`s nearby mill at Tonedale, Wellington.
The remaining items do have a meaningful connection with the history of Coldharbour Mill, this will be explained in the descriptions of each exhibit.
