Originally a water-powered mill built at the end of the 18C, it was acquired by the Hebden Bridge Fustian Manufacturing Co-operative Society in 1872. The 300 workers were all part-owners and received a share of the profits. It was purchased by the Co-operative Wholesale Society in 1918. Fustian is a group of densely woven cotton cloths, including corduroy, moleskin and whipcord.
