Staveley Mill Yard

Staveley Mill Yard is a former bobbin mill, which is now used for a variety of different local industries, shops and other commercial ventures. It is situated in the centre of the village of Staveley, Cumbria, just off the main street.

Staveley Mill was in existence before 1829 and was first known as Low Mill. The first documented owner was Thomas Taylor who was born in Kendal. Taylor died in 1832 following an outbreak of cholera in the area. The mill was then leased to Benjamin Turton from Yorkshire. In 1850 the mill was sold to Chadwick Bros. of Eagley Mills Bolton. In 1897 Chadwick's Mill was bought by J. P. Coats of Paisley and was later sold to a Mr. Dean in 1900 who renamed it The Staveley Wood Turning Co. Ltd.
