Coldharbour Mill, Devon As part of a 1000 mile road trip across the of England, I recently visited Coldharbour Mill in South Devon. It is where John Arbon trained and is now a museum that still produces yarns and local Devon tartan. Coldharbour Mill has been spinning worsted and woollen for 200 years. Built by Thomas Fox in 1799, the mill was an important centre for employment and played an integral part in establishing Fox Brothers & Co. as renowned global exporters of high quality worsted yarn and cloth. When closure came in 1981, a result of a national recession and the popularity of man-made fibres, the mill was already a museum piece - a time capsule of techniques and rare machinery dating from the reign of Queen Victoria. In 1982 the Coldharbour Mill Trust bought and reopened the factory as a textile museum, so preserving a unique piece of social and industrial history.
