Hardcastle ' s Mill Hardcastle ' s Mill was a cotton maker in Victoria Street in operation from 1882 to 1931 . It was the forerunner of Elliston ' s Raincoat Factory . The four - storey building was built over the old Barton mine , on landspace rented to Charles Hardcastle by Sir Humphrey Swinton . Hardcastle put his son Matthew in charge of the work at the mill while he took care of his empire , which included seven weaving sheds , a dyeworks , a warehouse , a tailoring factory and a factory school . Children as young as eight were employed at the mill ( including a young Ena Schofield ) and full - time workers put in daily thirteen hour shifts . In 1900 , Hardcastle put his biggest scheme yet into action : the building of two new streets behind the mill , to house his workers . These were Mawdsley Street and Albert Street , renamed Coronation Street on its completion in 1902 . The long hours at the mill were often dangerous . In 1904 John Matthews was killed in an industrial accident . Seven years later , in 1911 , foreman Fred Piggott called the workers on strike in lieu of better working conditions and higher pay . Factory and mill owners across the country were reaping the benefits of the mine closures and strike action was rife , bringing Weatherfield to a halt . After months of industrial action , Hardcastle settled with the workers and agreed to give them basic pay . On Charles Hardcastle ' s death in 1926 , Matthew took charge of his factories . Lower demand for cotton combined with Matthew ' s bad business sense spelled doom for the mill and in 1931 it closed down , putting many of Coronation Street ' s residents out of work at a time when the country was facing one of its biggest financial crises . The building was bought over by Jack Elliston a year later and became Elliston ' s Raincoat Factory . List of factory staff . Managers : Foremen : Weavers : Spinners : Unknown :
