The Heaps of Honley and South Crosland

The Heaps were linked to the woollen manufacturing industry in the Honley and South Crosland area.

By the 1850s, various members of the family had moved to Crosland Hall and they took over the leases of Lord's Mill and Crosland Mills.

However, by the mid-1880s, the family was in financial trouble and they sold off many of their assets in 1885 and 1886.
