I wish i had a pound for every time i walked thro there onto my part of making carpets for Thomas Taylor Bro 's ! For i worked round the corner on the LATEX DEPARTMENT my role was """A Stitcher " at the start of the carpet process joining the ends together to then send the 15foot wide carpets on their way towards the first LATEX ,then The FOAM Backing , then thro the "OVENS " to be cured then out the back and rolled into whatever lengths were required . Thank you very much for the photo which brought back very fond memories !!!!!!!

Worked there for 6 years making the carpet was a machine setter late 60s Alan

Do you remember the latex department or as we called it the shed ?
