Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Textile_Museum
2026: "The Lewis Textile Museum was bequeathed to the people of Blackburn by a local cotton industrialist, Thomas Boys Lewis (1869–1942). The Lewis Textile Museum was closed in 2006 and a new gallery with its collection of looms and textile machinery was moved to Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery. The gallery which now houses the exhibits at the main Museum & Art Gallery was named CottonTown and opened in April 2007 by Jack Straw, the local Labour MP.
The closure of the Lewis Textile Museum [1] caused surprise which the local paper, the Lancashire Telegraph reported.[2]
In 2006 the building of the Lewis Textile Museum, was planned to become a drugs centre although this was met with local uproar.[3]"
