Britain's What's On Event Guide
Celebrating 125 years of Textile Manufacturing
Heritage Open Day: Bower Roebuck open day celebrates 125 years of textile manufacturing in New Mill. Book onto one of our working mill tours or drop in for exhibitions, displays, music and competitions. Local businesses will be selling food and refreshments. Bower Roebuck & Co Ltd was founded in 1899 and continues to manufacture luxury cloth on the same site in New Mill today. For the best part of a century many people will have used the local footpaths connecting the villages down into the mill in the valley and the cloth would be sold at the local piece halls. Now visitors travel from across the globe to view our collections and buy our luxury cloth which is made here in New Mill and shipped across Europe and as far as the USA and the Middle and Far East.
