The Colne and District Weavers', Winders' and Beamers' Association was a trade union representing cotton weavers in the Colne area of Lancashire in England.
The union was founded by 1882, although some writers have suggested that it was already in existence by the late 1870s.
In its early years, it repeatedly tried to increase the area which it covered, trying and failing to create branches in Earby, Foulridge and Trawden.
[1][2][3] The union was a founder member of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association, in 1884.
[1] Membership of the union fell through much of the 20th-century, in line with declining employment in the Lancashire cotton industry.
