This special plate is a Morley 1990 Calendar, made to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the opening of Crank Mill in 1790. Built by Lord Dartmouth for the Webster family, it was the first steam-powered mill in Yorkshire. Later owned by Kirk & Steel Ltd, among others, it continued operating as a mill until 1979, being one of the last mills in Morley to close.
