Halstead developed as a centre for industry over the centuries, with textile production being a particularly big part of the economy. Townsford Mill, sat on the River Colne, remains a testament to this. Originally built as a corn mill, it was later developed to produce silk, with water-driven looms. Nowadays, it remains as one of the biggest antiques centres in the area.
