Victor is a steam engine. She lives at the Bradford Industrial Museum. In an earlier life she drove 500 looms and a 100kW generator at Linton Mill. Victor will feature in a documentary called 'The Settlement' which will be looking at the different peoples that have settled in Grassington, right from the last ice age until now. So 'Victor' will appear in a section on textile workers.
The documentary is one part of a 'All Our Stories Project' funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and managed by 'The Grassington Hub'.
PS, steam engines are always female.
