General notes:
The original mill was founded in 1792 as James Orr & Co. In 1859 it was purchased by R. F. & J. Alexander & Co. Ltd. In 1898, R. F. & J. Alexander & Co. Ltd. became part of the English Sewing Cotton Company. In 1963 it went into partnership with Tootal Broadhurst Lee Co Ltd., but still traded under its own name. In 1969 there was a merger with the Calico Printers Association to form Calico English LTD. In 1973 the company changed its name to the Tootal Brand. In 1992, the Crofthead mill closed with the remaining staff transfered to the mill in the Newton Mearns factory.
