1:32 scale model of a typical 18th century water-powered textile mill. The model is based on drawings of the Collycroft Worsted Mill, Bedworth, Warwickshire, England as it was in c.1790.

There is a bell tower on the roof of the model and the front features a large cut away section, allowing the interior to be viewed. The inside contains a selection of textile machines employed in various processes; weaving, winding, drawing or doubling, and spinning. The people operating the machines are also visible within the model.
