A Heritage of British Weaving
Operating from Glendale Mills in New Mill, Huddersfield, Bower Roebuck is one of England’s most respected luxury cloth weavers. Established in 1899 in the heart of Yorkshire’s historic textile district, the mill unites time-honoured English craftsmanship with advanced manufacturing technology.
Driven by an extensive design archive and continuous technological innovation, Bower Roebuck has achieved several pioneering industry milestones including weaving Super 120’s as early as 1974, introducing computerised design looms in 1989, and mastering Super 150’s in 1991 to supply leading international tailoring houses.
