Soon after this the factory began to languish and eventually it was abolished.
Local tradition asserts that the company's connection with the factory come to an end in about 1820 But the local industry did not cease in consequence and a considerable export trade in cotton was carried on in the neighborhood , till Manchester entered into the competition after 1857 . The Weaver then found it cheaper to by English thread and the. Consumer began to prefer Manchester piece goods to the produce of the indian handlooms . The Manufacturer of cotton cloths consequently declined and was displayed by imported goods.
