The crossroads here is named Factory Cross. The woollen factory was established circa 1800 and was a major employer in the mid 19th century. The factory ceased operation circa 1880 when the industry declined. More details are at: http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDV21305&resourceID=104
