The Mill reached its peak production in the early part of the 19th century, employing around 550 people with over 10,000 spindles in operation. The mill continued to operate until it was destroyed in a disastrous fire on November 16, 1892. "One by one the floors fell in with a deafening crash and the machinery clanged together like the roar of artillery. Then the roof with one gigantic swoop collapsed, falling through the practically demolished building with a thunderous smash, amidst the shrieks of the by-standers, for all the village was now awake.
