*The hill was powered by a 9.1m water wheel, with the water being recycled by engine to the top reservoir. A form of pump-storage.
*This was supplemented, or assisted by a Newcomen engine built by Hunt.
*A 6hp Bolton and Watt replaced or supplemented the Newcomen engine
*A 40hp Bolton and Watt was introduced to power more spindles
*A 30hp Bolton and Watt was introduced to power more spindles
The engine house and the chimney were detached from the mill, though a later engine house may have been built adjacent to the centre on the eastern side.
