A former woollen mill at Marsden, near Huddersfield

---

Marsden grew wealthy in the nineteenth century from the production of woollen cloth. Bank Bottom Mill, later known as Marsden Mill, and home to John Edward Crowther Ltd, was formerly one of the largest mills in Yorkshire. The Crowthers moved to Marsden in 1876, beginning a long and profitable association with cloth manufacturing in the town. During the 1930s Bank Bottom Mill covered an area of 14 acres, employed 680 looms, and provided employment for 1900 workers.
