The firm specialised in dyeing and finishing heavy fustians, mainly moleskins, and related fabrics such as Bedford Cords, Whipcords and Cavalry twills. The firm didn't process corduroys or other pile fabrics. Much of the production was used for traditional protective clothing in heavy industry and many othe rindustrial applications.
The mill closed for good, probably during the 1970s. The mill was not used again and was eventually demolished and replaced with housing.
