The door at the top of the steps was the entrance to the "takkin' in shop" of John Fielden, who lived there from 1703 to his death in 1734. This portion was probably added by the same John Fielden for the purpose of his business as a clothier, or cloth maker. He gave out weft and warp to the handloom weavers and 'took in' the finished pieces. He was uncle to Joshua Fielden of Edge End, who founded the firm of Fielden Bros. at Laneside.

Three hundred years ago, most of the population would be found in the farms and cottages on the upland "shelf", in areas such as Shore, Mankinholes and Bottomley. Families were self-sufficient, growing and producing most of their own food and clothing.
Gradually, the merchant clothiers, the entrepreneurs of the 17th - 18th century emerged. The domestic system with its "putting-out" system became the norm. Hand loom weavers working at home would take their woven pieces to the clothier at the "takkin' in shop". In return he would furnish them with more wool to be taken home and spun and woven. The clothier would visit the cloth or piece hall to sell the woven pieces and to buy wool. A view of Ratcher and Haugh Stones, above Holebottom.
The three-storey Ratcher cottage on the right is a typical example of the building constructed specifically for a cottage industry. It was later used as a bobbin factory for Lawrence Wilson from 1823.

Buildings, Chimney, Chimneys, Gantry, Mill, Mills, Slaithwaite, Textiles
LLOCATION: Bridge Street, Slaithwaite
REF: CV24
GRID REF: 082 141
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Two large, late 19C spinning mills on either side of Bridge Street. The main building (north side) is a large four storey mill with centrally placed tower. Part of the northerly facing frontage is projected out and features decorative arched windows. Also large octagonal stone chimney (now with brick cap) remains. It was built in 1887 by the Globe Worsted Company and the second mill across the road was built a couple of years later - a slightly smaller, five storey stone building with a small tower at one corner.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mills are still used for worsted spinning, although the 1889 building looks only semi used. They are both impressive structures, but may become vulnerable if they fall into disuse.
