I think Gloria, when we were there for the book launch last year, that there was some books in glass cases. Half a feeling that they were employee records but only half!!

Does anyone know if it is possible to find employees of the various cotton mills in and around Burnley in the early 1900,s? |

Good question Gill, I would be interested in the answer to that. I would have thought the individual mills would have had records as to who they paid wages to, but I doubt if any of them would still be in existence. Maybe there could be something at the Weavers Triangle, I haven't called there so cannot say what is there. I wonder if Queens St Mill still has their records?????? |

I think Queen St Mill still has some. Didn't Roger once say he was organising a visit there for us to look through them? (except it didn't happen) |

I think you are right Mel, I vaguely remember them. And, yes Maureen we were supposed to be looking at them at some point, but it never happened. |
