Bridgeroyd Works was built in 1868 as a steam-powered dyeing and finishing mill. The mill was constantly added to, particularly in the late 1880s and 1890s. The mill has been through several owners, the latest being M Chapman and Sons (Textiles). Manufacturing ceased at Christmas 2004 and the mill is now only used for storing fustians (http://www.hebdenbridgehistory.org.uk/charlestown/mills.html Charlestown History Group).
