Christine May Mill was previously called Wildes Mill and there was a row of cottages down Foundry Lane called Wildes Cottages where the workers lived including my Great, Great, Great Grandfather and Grandmother who came here at the time of the Potato Famine in Ireland when they were starving. Then it was the American War of Independence when no cotton was coming over here so they were starving again. I don't know how they survived.
