About Fencing in Dewsbury
Dewsbury in West Yorkshire grew into the largest town of the Heavy Woollen District, a conurbation of mill towns stretching from Wakefield through Batley and out towards Leeds, known for producing heavyweight cloth from the early 19th century onwards. The town became a centre for the shoddy and mungo trades, recycling old woollen garments by grinding them down and blending the fibres with new wool to make affordable blankets and uniforms, an industry that by 1855 was processing some 30 million pounds of rags a year across the wider district. Dewsbury's position at the heart of this trade, alongside its canal links and nearby coal mines, gave it a ready export market for its cheap recycled cloth that stretched across the British Empire.
