Established in 1833-4 as two-storeyed six-bay handloom-weaving shop by partnership of two fancy weavers and a dyer. Rare survival of an intermediate stage in transition from domestic production to factory system. Powerlooms apparently not introduced to the mill until the 1870s or later, illustrating predominance of handloom weaving in fancy manufacturing long after the powerloom had become common in rest of woollen branch. Loomshop was heightened and lengthened c1850. A tentering shed, dyehouse, warehouse, power plant and cottages complete the complex.
