Enoch Taylor and his brother were local blacksmiths who made the first automatic cropping machines for use in the textile mills thereby causing loss of jobs thus leading to the Luddite uprisings in the area,the name Enoch was then used for the hammers used to smash these machines by the rioters using the slogan "Enoch made them and Enoch hath break them.
