List of mills in Lancashire
A classroom display of the stages in processing cotton
A typical weaving shed at Queen Street Mill Textile Museum, Burnley
This is an incomplete list of the cotton and other textile mills that were located within the modern-day boundaries of the ceremonial county of Lancashire , England. The first mills were built in the 1760s, in Derbyshire using the Arkwright system and were powered by the water. When stationary steam engines were introduced they still needed water, so the mills were built along rivers and canals. As a broad rule of thumb, spinning mills were built in the south-east of the county, and weaving sheds to the north and west. Parts of Lancashire have been subsumed into Greater Manchester and Merseyside , and are not included in this list. Parts of Yorkshire are now included in this county.

Notes:
When it opened in 1905 Bankfield was reputed to be the world's largest weaving shed. James Nutter was the first tenant and was responsible for 900 looms, but shared the shed with the Bradley Brothers who had another 900 looms. James Nutter and Son continued weaving at Bankfield even after they had completed Bancroft Shed, although James Nutter himself had died in 1914. Weaving stopped in 1920. It 1939 it became a shadow factory for Rover, and then taken over by Rolls-Royce for aero-engine production. The 'B' in a Rolls-Royce engine name (e.g. a RB211) designates it was designed in Barnoldswick.
