Format:Paperback
I was presented with this book for my recent birthday & as an old Blackburn girl & weaver have been enthralled by it. It is a wonderful read that covers the history of the cotton industry through the ages & evokes many happy memories for me. Like Pat Whiteley I worked at Ewood Mill for a time & recognised the picture of the " Nursery" for the trainee weavers. Thank you Ron Freethey for the pleasure of reading your book. from Maureen Woodward( nee Reucassel)

This is a brilliant history of the mills, providing the reader with a very evocative picture of what it was like to work in such places, under such conditions, as well as giving us a broader sense of how life was in that era. Well done indeed!

If you want to know what it was like working in the Lancashire cotton mills, read this book. It's a mix of historical reflection and the voices of the weavers and spinners. A good read and very very interesting.
