Remains of the gas plant, chimney, wheel pit and mill race of Dolphinholme Worsted Mill is an ancient monument comprising the surviving infrastructure of a nineteenth-century textile manufacturing facility located in Lancashire. The site preserves evidence of the industrial processes that characterised worsted production during this period, including the substantial chimney stack, the wheel pit that once housed the motive power for the mill machinery, and the mill race that channelled water to drive the works. The gas plant represents the site's fuel infrastructure, essential to the operation of the mill during the industrial era. These fragmentary remains document the material culture and technological systems of Victorian-era textile manufacture in the region.
