Background
History
Crook has been a minor village for most of its history, with its population never rising above 400. Surrounded by hills, most of its economy consisted of agriculture that focused on local sheep, such as herdwicks, and the manufacturing of woollen products, such as woollen worsteds. In the 19th century, there was a focus on bobbin production with two bobbin mills: Crook Mill and Birks Mill, with the latter having industrial machines.
