Dugdale & Lello were occupying Gauxholme Mill when it

The cause of the outbreak was unknown.
The mill was manufacturing webbing straps for the cotton
industry at the time, and it has been said that a member of the
Cockcroft family – who were involved in a competitive business of
making leather straps – set the fire to the mill and then
escaped to America, possibly under the name Cocroft.
The fire caused an estimated £3,000 damage, having gutted the
building and destroying an unusually large and valuable stock.
The mill was not insured and was never rebuilt.
