About Fencing in Batley
Batley in West Yorkshire became known as the world capital of wool recycling after local inventor Benjamin Law developed the shoddy process in 1813, grinding down soft rag wool from discarded stockings and flannels and blending it with virgin wool to produce affordable cloth such as tweed and blankets. The trade grew at astonishing speed, with at least 30 shoddy mills operating in the town by 1861, rising to between 50 and 60 shoddy or mungo mills running some 3,000 power looms by 1873, run by a class of local industrialists who became known as the shoddy barons. This recycling economy transformed Batley from a village of around 2,500 people in 1800 into a booming town of more than 36,000 by 1911.
