The original mill on this site was built in 1868 on land purchased from the Rawden Baptist Church. The owner was a clothier called Thomas Pratt who lived in Little London.
Cloth was produced in the mill until 1906 when fire destroyed most of the buildings. The machinery was lost, however the weaving sheds survived.
The damage left some 300 workers unemployed. Rebuild costs were in excess of £20,000, the site became a Dyehouse for Naylor Jennings & Co.
The works closed in 2010
