Walton Mill also known as 'Bump' Mill was built in the 1770's by partners Hewitt (a linen and woollen draper) and Bunting
(a mercer and draper and later a tallow chandler. "Bump" refers to cheap cotton that was manufactured there in the 1790's.
I read somewhere, that dressings for the Crimea War were manufactured here.
