A cheeky request, is there anyone who will be visiting West Yorksh Archives that could find out this info please.

I am wanting to find out some info on Machells Mill in Dewsbury, the info i would like is anything really about its history, who the Machells bros were that started the company, who eventually took over and what led to its downfall apart from the obvious drying up of demand and what year it closed down. If there is anyone who has any pics of it in its previous glory i would welcome them.

Thanks in advance

Paul

HI


From googling the names of the two who started this venture were

Robert Fletcher Machell bn circa 1834 and his younger brother William Machell bn circa 1838

William Machell was also Mayor and Alderman of Dewsbury in 1880 - 1881 and again 1881 - 1882.



The building was built in 1863 and in 1874 these two brothers moved into the premises.
