1874 Jonathan Thorp & Sons moves to Dobroyd from Holmfirth Old Mill
1920 William Haigh became a director of Dobroyd Mill at Jackson Bridge after being demobbed in 1919 and went on to become owner and managing director. Mr Haigh also began collecting wool-weights - which later featured as the trademark for Dobroyd Mill. ("The weights were carried by local officials known as trongers, who would carry a pair of weights by a leather strap that could be slung across a horse."Their flat shape allowed the horse to carry them comfortably, compared with the usual bell shape of most weights.")
about 1976- Dobroyd reopened by John Woodhead Ltd. "Dobroyd Mill covers a vast area and some of it is sub-let to a garage, a food firm and a wallpaper maker. "
2015 site has The Carding Shed / Oil Can Cafe with a number of shop stalls also in the shed. |
