More about this scene
Cotton spinning brought rich rewards to the town. The new mills, ten of which were established as early as 1758, used water power from the fast running River Ryburn. The valley later became renowned for its dyeing of dark blue cloth, which was used by the whole of the Royal Navy. Because of its industrial heritage, Ripponden village has been given conservation status.
