T. Wildman & Sons were an English company and specialists in the manufacture of bobbins for the textile industry. They manufactured a variety of shielded ring bobbins (twist and weft), tubes and pirns. The firm was established in 1859.[1]
In 1872, Mr Thomas Wildman purchased Willow Mill, located at Copy Lane, Caton with Littledale, Lancashire, and the manufacturing was moved there.[2]
With the decline of the textile industry, the mill moved to the manufacture of brushes, which was continued until the close of the mill in 1973. A part of the contents of the mill was donated to Lancashire County Council Museum Service.[1]
