Heckmondwike made its name in blankets — by 1811 the town had its own Blanket Hall for the trade, and over 50 years later a town-centre clock was put up to mark a royal wedding.
The Blanket Hall of 1811
Heckmondwike was a centre of the wool and textile industries, particularly known for blankets and carpets. The Blanket Hall was built in 1811 for trade in the town's primary manufacture.
A clock for a royal marriage
A clock in Heckmondwike's centre was erected in 1863 to commemorate the marriage of the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and Princess Alexandra of Denmark.
