Birth:
- One of the oldest works in the immediate vicinity of Accrington that is still in operation is Plantation Mill. A pulling mill is said to have been the original business but it was converted to that of Calico printing in the early days of that industry.
A statement in the "Blackburn Mail" of June 20th, 1815 demonstrates that Accrington was a small village before the Industrial Revolution. "Accrington has prodigiously increased the number of its inhabitants within the last 30 years. In the year 1785 the population did not exceed 250; it is now about 4,000."
To the founding of Plantation Mills we owe that interesting block of houses know as Plantation Mill Square. They are an example of how the housing shortage was met a century ago. The cottages form three sides of a square, the fourth being the lane leading up to the mills.

Half way up Plantation Road, at the top of the cobbled lane is the site of an old print works. Very little remains of the mill today although some stone walls, bricks, pipe work and metal work can be seen upon closer examination of the area. The original mill dates back to late 18th century, during its time it was owned by the Hargreaves family and run by the Grimshaw family who built Owl Hall and Plantation House as their residencies. The mill was closed in 1934 and demolished in the 1940's.
