Rochdale and District Weavers', Reelers', Beamers' and Doublers' Association

The Rochdale and District Weavers', Reelers', Beamers' and Doublers' Association was a trade union representing cotton industry workers in Rochdale and surrounding areas of Lancashire in England.

It was initially known as the Rochdale and District Weavers', Winders', Reelers', Beamers' and Hosiery Workers' Association.

Its membership initially continued to grow, reaching 4,000 in the early 1900s, but fell back to 3,300 in 1906, two-thirds of whom were women.

[1] In 1931, the union adopted it final name, and in 1934, the Whitworth Vale Weavers' Association rejoined.

Partly as a result of this, it retained its membership better than most other local cotton unions, as employment in the industry fell, and in 1970 it still had more than 2,000 members.
