Image shows the Japa Factory at Laneside Mills, off Victoria Road. The firm moved into the former textile mill in 1936. The earliest part of the mill was built by textile manufacturer, George Crowther in 1829. In the late nineteenth century it was owned by Charles Scarth and became the biggest textile mill in the Morley area. The Japa factory (Japa is an acronym for 'Just Another Paper Article') could make 1 billion paper bags per year at its peak. The factory closed c1994 and there is now a housing development on the site.
