About Fencing in Oldham

Oldham in Lancashire grew from a small handloom weaving community into one of the greatest cotton spinning towns the world has ever seen, with mill numbers climbing from around 100 in the early 1820s to roughly 200 by 1860 as production shifted to coarse spinning using imported American cotton. Growth accelerated further during a mill building boom in the 1860s and 1870s that saw Oldham overtake even Manchester and Bolton, and by 1911 the town boasted 335 mills whose 15.8 million spindles represented almost a tenth of every cotton spindle turning anywhere in the world. That industrial dominance was supported by a thriving local engineering trade, led by firms such as Platt Brothers, who by the 1840s had grown into the largest makers of textile machinery in Lancashire and eventually the world.
