In my previous career I was one of the marketing managers at Wigan Council around the time they opened the
'Robert Opie Museum of Memories' at the Trencherfield Mill / Wigan Pier complex. See -

The heads moved around using an automated mechanism.
Here are two photos that I took of the heads and the Trencherfield Mill steam engine in 2002. My son Simon is at the bench.
There is more information on the engine here -
