Book Description
This well illustrated book is the first comprehensive study of the weaving sector of the Lancashire cotton industry to be published. The focus is on the development of weaving mills against the background of the economic development and organisation of the industry. Hand loom weaving was carried out in domestic premises or small workshops. Early power looms were installed in multi-storey mills combined with spinning, the characteristic form of single storey shed with north-light roof used solely for weaving developing later. The construction, power systems and layout of these mills are considered in detail. The book is based on original research looking at both the mills themselves and documentary sources, including plans and company records.

Book Description
A survey of the early textile mills of the famed English town, and work and life amid the Industrial Revolution, with photos and illustrations. In this fascinating survey, Vivien Teasdale documents the mills of Huddersfield—some now demolished, others repurposed, and a few still connected with the modern textile industry. Teasdale also recalls the people whose livelihood depended on the mills—the owners, the workers, and their families. Their combined efforts over generations created the prosperity and growth that gave birth to the town we see today, and this book gives a keen insight into their work and their lives. All kinds of mills are featured here—woolen, worsted, yarn spinners, and shoddy. The people who worked in them are brought vividly to life—where they lived, how much they earned, what their working conditions were like. Early union disputes are recalled, giving a glimpse of the organized labor for which Huddersfield is so rightly famous. Some of the names may live on mainly in the streets or buildings named after them; others have long been forgotten, despite their influence on the town in the early days. But the era in Huddersfield’s history that they represent, and the lost community of individuals and families who lives revolved around them, are well remembered here.

Book Description
The Making of Huddersfield' is not a systematic and chronological account of Huddersfield's growth but a series of illuminating snapshots which bring to life numerous aspects of the town and its surrounding area.Just 200 years ago Huddersfield was still a village. In a short time it was to become one of the most dynamic and vibrant towns in the north of England and this book traces the history of that development, from the early Middle Ages, through important changes in Tudor and Stuart times and into the exciting years of the Industrial Revolution. 'The Making of Huddersfield' tells the story of ancient bridges and highways, inns, mills and private dwellings, and it looks at ordinary people as they appear in early court records, identifying individuals and families as they thronged the market place or relaxed in the ale houses. Take a transitional journey, from the Middle Ages to the present day, as you read 'The Making of Huddersfield'.
