Lappet Mill, Calder vale
Lappet Mill, Calder Vale at the edge of the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire.
Lappet Mill was founded as a water-powered cotton mill in 1835 by the Jackson brothers. The mill is no longer powered by the River Calder, but it is still working as a textile mill, one of its main products being the red, black and white checked cloth used for Arab headscarves. It is said that Yasser Arafat's headdresses were made here.
