View from Yew Tree Mills, Huddersfield, England
Significant research is now being undertaken through the extensive Moxon Archives to determine the exact date of these ancient bolts of cloth. Firas Chamsi-Pasha, Moxon's 'Soul' has assembled a small task force, consisting of cloth specialists and experienced designers to ascertain the origins and details of the cloth. Conclusions of their findings are to be announced in due time.
The firm however is not short on mystery. It sits at the very pinnacle of British manufacturing, as England's most illustrious of mills, and stands alone as the sole antiquated manufacturer that has not succumbed to pressure of profit. According to Mr. Chamsi-Pasha:
The ancient firm essentially came to prominence during the glorious reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I of England, who reigned from 1558 until 1603, primarily as a Cottage industry. At the time, there were three main stages to manufacturing cloth: carding, spinning and weaving.
Moxon, long considered England's best-kept secret, has repeadtedly been demanded by both royalty and the great superstars of the silver screen during Hollywood's 'Golden Era' for several decades. As Moxon's Managing Director, Firas Chamsi-Pasha recently stated: "Our Archives indicate that over our long history we have clothed both monarchs and certain ex-monarchs"
Its unique location within West Yorkshire, on the very borders of England's Pennine Mountains, the most rural of Huddersfield's surrounding countryside, has supplied Moxon with a crucial element in its enigmatic recipe, the area's infamous rainfall. Behind the mill, Moxon has two private water reservoirs built over a century ago, which, with Yorkshire's year round precipitation, ensure an uninterrupted supply of soft untreated water, historically an essential component in the dyeing and finishing processes of cloth, and one of Moxon's key ingredients today. The freshwater, which has cascaded down the Pennines and into Moxon's mini lakes, contains natural cloth softening characteristics, largely due to having low concentrations of dissolved salts, a composition unmatched anywhere else in England. The level of water in these mini lakes is purely dependent on nature and the quantity of precipitation.
Concerning the discovery, the results of the findings are being eargerly anticipated by followers of British history, as it represents one of the most significant stashes of unclaimed cloth ever found in the modern era. Once established, the bolts will be sampled, numbered and archived accordingly within the comprehensive Moxon vaults.
