Dobcross history

---

Dobcross is located at an ancient crossing point of the River Tame which was formerly used by trans-Pennine packhorses as they travelled east from Lancashire into Yorkshire. The name means the place where horses cross. At the crossing point lies the site of Walk Mill, which derives its name from the way the wool was ‘walked’ or trodden to ‘full’ the cloth before the introduction of mechanical stocks.
