Cotton Mill

I have just been on the phone to my sister-in-law to organise a visit when I'm over in England next week.
She told me, that as lass (she is now 70) she worked in Cockhedge cotton mill in Warrington, along with her mother.
I found this:- http://www.1museumstreet.co.uk/gatew...y_textiles.htm

She said it had not changed that much when she was there.

Steve.

Re: Cotton Mill

Hi Steve

Interesting reading about the cotton factory. I have just found out my auntie had worked in one as well. She was only about 13 at the time.
