History
The Royal George Mills were built in 1786 by James Harrop, John Smith and James Schofield, originally under the name of Gibbs Mill. They had become the Royal George Mills by 1800, and were later recorded as being the property of James Harrop and Sons. This company had been declared bankrupt by 1826 and the mills were then operated until 1837 by Taylor, Son and Gibson.
In 1870, R R Whitehead and Brothers became a limited company. They specialised in the production of felts produced from wool, and also in the manufacture of flags. In 1932, they became part of Porritts and Spencer of Bury, who were, in turn, taken over by the Scapa Group in 1969. In 1980, further amalgamation took place with Bury Masco Industries and Cooper and Company, both of Brynmawr, South Wales. These concerns later closed. During the twentieth century, the Royal George Mills specialised in producing two types of felt; Taper Hammer Felt and Technical Felt. Taper Hammer Felt was used on the hammers in pianos, and the Royal George Mills were renowned for it throughout the world, exporting to Japan, Korea, China and Germany. Technical Felt was used throughout industry in a wide range of machinery. Work at the Royal George Mills gradually decreased throughout the 1990s and they finally closed in 1999.
Since 1999 Wiggett Construction acquired the site and have sympathetically restored the original mill buildings and added additional townhouse and semi detached accommodation which is how the development is found today.
