Wakefield at Work
Wakefield was a prosperous market town in the Middle Ages. The Milnes family, staunch Unitarians, along with the Naylor family, again Unitarians, dominated the trade until the economic depression of the 1820s and increasing mechanisation. Although some coal mining had taken place in Wakefield since this time, it was transformed by the pits developed during the Industrial Revolution and these huge mining dominated the local economy until the last pits closed in the 1970s and 1980s.Trade in cloth and cloth finishing were also cornerstones of the economy of Wakefield, drawing in merchants from across the north.
Yarn spinning was more successful and the huge Plumpton Park Cloth production started on a small scale and many houses in the area had a weaving shed, until the arrival of the first steam-powered mill in 1781 and the rapid expansion of fulling and scribbling mills in Wakefield.
