Dean Clough, Halifax
A worsted spinning mill has existed on the Dean Clough site since 1802 but it was in 1822 John Crossley and his wife Martha took the first lease. In 1837 their three sons John, Joseph and Francis carried on the business, building the first of the extant mills in 1841.
In 1983 the musician and entrepreneur Ernest Hall and his son Jeremy bought the site. Major companies like The Halifax and Royal & Sun Alliance have made their homes in the complex, together with many start-up companies who have developed on site or moved on as their businesses have expanded.
Dean Clough is now home to over 100 companies and provides employment for 3,500 workers. Once again it is an economic force in the region and testament to a philosophy that sees personal devleopment as a vital part of social resurgence.
Home to eight galleries and the Viaduct theatre, Dean Clough has attracted a variety of charities, including the Design Dimension Educational Trust, various theatre companies, arts, music and media groups, and the Dean Clough artists - a 20 strong co-operative of visual artists, many of them internationally recognized.
