No it is definately Stuff. As he lived near Bradford, I wondered if it could be to do with the Mills?

Please could someone help me with the following. My G/G/Grandfather
Cornelious Crowley/Crowly is listed on the 1851 Census as a Commercial Traveller in Stuff. Any idea what Stuff this may have been?
