A market for local clothiers began in the 14th century. Plague in 1593 and 1603 closed it and it reopened in 1741. The first Methodist Society formed in 1746 and a canal branch arrived in 1770. Dewsbury then became a centre of the shoddy and mungo trades and saw Luddite unrest and Chartist disturbances in 1838.
