Kershaw Bridge Mill, Nabs Wife, Birtle
Kershaw Bridge was a fustian mill and one of the first mills to be built in the Cheesden Valley around 1780 by Thomas Allanson, and probably employed about 10 people. By the 1840s the mill was a dyeworks, but in 1845 it was taken over by the Whitehead family and converted for cotton production. In the early 1850s it became the first mill in the valley to cease production. Kershaw Bridge itself nearby was once a pack horse bridge. Now only the wheel pit remains.
