Stoneswood, or more properly, the Inchfield Pasture Cotton Mill, is one of the very early cotton carding and spinning mills. It is situated in the Dulesgate valley (Bacup Road), obtaining its power from the Dulesgate stream. The original mill would have been a small affair with a water wheel. The present mill consists of two adjacent but separate buildings. The higher of the two is the older, and would have replaced the original mill. The lower building was erected much later, about 1900. Both buildings are 3 storeys high. The space between the two is used for car parking and as a loading bay. Researched, recorded and referenced by Mrs Sheila Wade Hebden Bridge WEA Local History Group
