The Museum of Textiles was originally located in the former textile factory of Jannink.Egbert Jannink set up this factory in 1810. The factory operated until 1967. It is aRijksmonument (listed building).[a] The building was refurbished from 1975.[2] TheJannink museum moved onto the ground floor in 1980; other floors were converted into housing.[1] In 2008 the museum closed its doors and the collection was incorporated into the new museum Twentse Welle in the Roombeek district.
Suggestion to move the text below to a new Wikipedia page on the former Janninkfactory, as it has nothing to do with the current Museumfabriek:
Thefireproof mill was designed and built bySidney Stott. There were 70 fireprooftextile mills constructed in Twente between 1880 and 1914. Stott, theOldham architect, not to be confused with his cousinsStott and Sons, was a millwright who cooperated with most advanced textile machine manufacturers: the mill was handed over complete withpower source,line shafting and all thespinning machines needed to spin cotton. The building was modelled on similar double-mills in Lancashire. A central tower housed the engine and the water tank for the sprinklers; to either side were the three-storey mills with the large uninterrupted floors needed for mule spinning. The height of the chimney was determined by up-draught needed by the boilers.
The 1900 build was laid out with 16self-acting mules and 48Asa Lees & Coring frames giving a total of 30,000 spindles. There were 568 power looms. In 1908 Stott returned and added the water tower and the sprinkler system; outside England it was tradition to build the name of the mill into the chimney rather than the water tower.[3]
