The Bleachers' Association was formed on 7 June, 1900, bringing together around 60 bleaching companies mostly from Lancashire.[1] They were based at Blackfriars House, on the junction of Parsonage and Blackfriars Street in Salford.[2]
Following their foundation they promptly issued debentures for those who might want to invest in their business.[1]
In 1963 the company was reformed as Whitecroft Industrial Holdings.[1]
