Posted a longish reply yesterday but it didn't survive the forum resurrection.
So, here is the short version.
Saw badge , impulse buy as 'possibly' WW1.
A bit of digging/lucky guess found mention on Grace's Guide.
Grace's Guide
Bit more digging:
"
'Moons Mill’: Higher Walton Mill
The complex was sold to the Lancashire Cotton Corporation in 1932 and taken over by the

The mill closed in 1967-8."
Lion on top of badge - Something to do with British Industries Fair ? Award ?
After all that I found this thread , could have saved time and effort by simply asking forum but where is the fun in that .
