About Fencing in Halstead

Halstead in Essex is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 along with its three water mills on the River Colne, and a royal charter granted before 1251 gave the town a weekly market and annual fair that helped it prosper through the medieval wool trade. The town's fortunes were transformed again in the 19th century when Townsford Mill, originally built in 1788 as a corn mill, was bought in 1825 by George Courtauld, whose silk and later crepe weaving business became Halstead's major employer until the mill finally closed in 1982.
