The Phillips brothers bought the Old Hall House and surrounding land in 1747. A tape weaving mill was built bringing together the outworkers from the cottage industry. Further buildings were erected in the 1770s with a larger mill in 1823 housing steam powered Jacquard looms. This building known as the Old Hall was built in the 18th century in the reign of Queen Anne and features a fine original wooden staircase, The Phillips business survived until the 1970s and the mill closed in the 1980s. The buildings have been converted with a mix of private apartments and social housing.
