About Fencing in Darwen
Darwen in Lancashire became a major centre of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, and Samuel Crompton, inventor of the spinning mule that revolutionised cotton spinning, lived in the town for part of his life. Its most striking landmark is India Mill, built between 1859 and 1871 by cotton spinners Eccles Shorrock and Co and topped by a 303 foot Italian style campanile chimney that was, on completion, the tallest and most expensive of its kind in the country. The mill's original owners were ruined soon after by the Cotton Famine caused by the American Civil War cutting off raw cotton supplies, but the India Mills Cotton Spinning Company was formed in 1874 to complete and run the works, and the tower still stands today as a landmark of Darwen's industrial heritage.
