Yorkshire Association of Power Loom Overlookers
The Yorkshire Federation of Power Loom Overlookers was formed in 1911, a body for overlookers' societies in the woollen industry. It later changed its name to the Yorkshire Association of Power Loom Overlookers.
Bradford and District Power Loom Overlookers Society was formed in 1844. In 1911 it joined the Yorkshire Federation of Power Loom Overlookers (later the Yorkshire Association of Power Loom Overlookers), but retained its own identity as a seperate trade union. In 1990 it was disbanded and merged into the Yorkshire Association of Power Loom Overlookers.
