About Fencing in Rossendale
Rossendale in Lancashire found an unlikely industry in the 1870s, when John William Rothwell began making slippers from felt offcuts at his uncle's Bridge End Mill, fulfilling his first order of six dozen pairs featuring a printed felt upper in November 1874. What started as an improvisation using scrap material from carpet felt sent over from Leeds grew into a major local trade, and by its peak the Rossendale valley's shoe and slipper industry employed around 60,000 people, with one firm, Lambert, Howarth and Sons, producing some ten million pairs of shoes every year and the area even running its own footwear college to train workers in pattern cutting and design.
