Thats a really clear photo of the 2 mills. Very interesting to me as I understand from my cousin Fred Foster that his mother, my Auntie Annie, & my father worked at Eckersleys Mill.

I worked at Ecks in the early 60s, as a lap-carrier. Hard work, but some great people.

Great photo, I worked at Eckersley's in 1977 but the weaving shed was run by Dorma Sheets worked there until it closed in 1988.
