Description
Burnley Cotton Mills explores the history of an industry that was central to the economy of Burnley in 1929. At that time, 63 per cent of the working population was involved in this industry, which is still fascinating today. The book includes detailed histories of the 140 mills of Burnley, as well as stories of the weavers themselves and their families. With over 90 images, it provides a unique insight into the lives of those who worked in these mills. This book offers a valuable look at a significant period in British history, shedding light on the social and economic context of the time.
