English: Crag Hall - a Georgian mill-owner's house Situated by the road which ascends the hill past Wildboarclough church.
Crag Mill in Wildboarclough was built in 1793 and operated intermittently for the spinning and printing of calico and other cloths. Designs were printed at the mill on plain carpets provided by John Bright, one of which was exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1850.
Crag Hall was built in 1796 by the mill owner, while Crag Lodge housed the mill manager and Edinboro Cottages housed mill workers. 3 mills were eventually built on the site, but they were mostly demolished by 1957.
The local pronunciation of the village name is Wilbercluff with the accent on the first syllable.
