About Fencing in Ossett
Ossett in West Yorkshire appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Osleset, part of the wider Manor of Wakefield, and its inhabitants were said to have been making broad woollen cloth from time out of mind, according to an 18th century record from 1734. The town became part of the Heavy Woollen District, a cluster of mill towns spreading from Wakefield through Dewsbury and Batley to Leeds, known for its heavyweight cloth production, and Ossett developed a particular reputation for its shoddy industry, recycling old woollen garments into new fabric. Unlike some neighbouring mill towns that relied heavily on female labour, Ossett's mills employed roughly equal numbers of men and women, and the town's population grew steadily as the trade flourished through the 19th century.
