In my previous career I was one of the marketing managers at Wigan Council around the time they opened the 'Robert Opie Museum of Memories' at the Trencherfield Mill / Wigan Pier complex. See - http://www.robertopiecollection.com/app ... seum2i.asp

The heads moved around using an automated mechanism.

Here are two photos that I took of the heads and the Trencherfield Mill steam engine in 2002. My son Simon is at the bench.



There is more information on the engine here - http://www.wlct.org/heritage-services/t ... engine.htm
