"In the 1920s Goit Stock was a thriving pleasure resort, drawing a record crowd of 20,000 one bank holiday Monday in 1927. However, tragedy struck that same evening when the old cotton mill, converted to a ballroom and café, caught fire, destroying both the famous dance floor and the instruments of the Wilsden Brass Band. Things were never quite the same, and “Happy Valley” – as the resort was known – never returned to its former glory, closing in 1932."
