I have been informed that it was actually called Python Mill and was originally an asbestos works but was taken over, it's believed, in the 1920’s by the Dutch company Breda Visada who used the site to produce Cellulose Acetate or Artificial Silk. Ultimately the ownership passed to British Enka who changed the name to British Visada Ltd and eventually closed the factory down in the 1960’s. (Info above courtesy of Littleborough Historical & Archive Society). I have also found information that states that the company produced viscose continuous filament yarn and commenced production in 1932. More digging to be done yet on this. |
