Woollen mills Huddersfield area

[heywood]

Saddleworth Museum in the Yorkshire village of Uppermill about 8 minutes by car from Marsden.  The Lancashire one suggested could be Helmshore (Cotton).

Helmshore does seem to cover wool also - I checked before I posted and just checked again.
Uppermill is now part of Oldham and is Greater Manchester - although many folk still regard themselves as belonging to Yorkshire.

Uppermill and the other Saddleworth villages are part of the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham.  53% of the Oldham Borough is in Yorkshire, and 47% is in Lancashire. In the most recent past signs confirming the above have been erected on the boundaries of the Saddleworth villages. They are pale blue in colour, feature a white rose and the name of each village.  It is some years since I visited Helmshaw and recall the cotton production.  I was not aware that they now include woollen, although it is quite a trip from Huddersfield and the Colne and Holme valleys.
