An interactive exhibition of mill working lives at the former Washpit Mills

The Carding Shed, now a Cafe and classic car garage, was once part of Washpit Mills. Its history is rooted in the woollen industry. As part of Heritage Week, the Carding Shed is hosting an interactive exhibition about the lives of those who worked in Holmfirth's industrial heartland. It has been curated by Sian Salt, Chris Salt and Sue Duddridge. See photos and ephemera and hear former
employees share their insights and reminiscences. Do you have your own memories and stories to add to this living archive? Enjoy a meal or snack whilst you are at the Carding Shed Cafe
