the first cotton mills were established in the 1740s to house roller spinning machinery invented by lewis paul and john wyatt. the machines were the first to spin cotton mechanically "without the intervention of human fingers". they were driven by a single non-human power source which allowed the use of larger machinery and made it possible to concentrate production into organised factories. four mills were set up to house paul and wyatt's machinery in the decade following its patent in 1738: the short-lived, animal-powered upper priory cotton mill in birmingham in 1741; marvel's mill in northampton operated from 1742 until 1764 and was the first to be powered by a water wheel; pinsley mill in leominster probably opened in 1744 and operated until it burned down in 1754; and a second mill in birmingham set up by samuel touchet in 1744, about which little is known, but which was sufficiently successful for touchet later to seek the lease on the mill in northampton. the paul-wyatt mills spun cotton for several decades but were not very profitable, becoming the ancestors of the cotton mills that followed.
