  • It has been re-built each time after 4 fires. The most recent being in 1994.
  • The first colors other than white, grey, and black where introduced in the 1940's and those included Scarlet, Royal Blue, and Paddy Green.
  • Partially powered by water until 1994.
  • Ward Little worked at this mill for over 60 years.
