Stoneswood mill at Gauxholme, Todmorden, was once used for cotton spinning. By the beginning of the twentieth century it was home to John Walton's picker manufacturing business. (Pickers are part of the weaving loom and throw the shuttle across from side to side). After a period manufacturing motorised bicycles in the 1950s, the mill is now use for manufacture of printed circuit boards, although the painted details of Walton's business remain visible on the end wall.
