Inside Bankfoot Mill, Hebden Bridge – AGW00271
Bankfoot, Hebden Bridge, Mill Interior, Places, Textiles Manufacture
The firm, Crabtree Bros. Ltd., 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.
These pictures were taken during the week before the mill closed for good, probably during the 1970s. The mill was not used again and was eventually demolished and replaced with housing.
Here the operative is mixing the ingredients prior to application to un-dyed cloth - a process known as "selfing".

This view shows a scutcher, the final process in the Blowing Room. The large roll of cotton, called a 'lap' has been 'doffed' and has a lap rod inserted through the centre, ready to go to the carding machine in the Cardroom. A pile of lap rods is seen against the adjacent machine. The cotton having been opened, mixed and cleaned, is drawn on to a cage by suction then passes between weighted rollers to compress it, before it is wound in to a roll at the lap end.

This view in the Spinning Room shows ring spinning frames, an alternative process for the production of cotton yarn to the self-acting mule. Rovings from the roving frame are placed in the creel and the ends threaded through the roller drafting system, which reduces the weight per unit length to produce the desired 'count' of yarn. Twist is inserted by revolving spindles and the yarn guided on to the tube by a wire traveller mounted on a steel ring. These are Platts machines and are interesting in being driven by ropes instead of leather belts, an up-to-date arrangement.
