My Mum and Dad worked in this mill in the 1930s and40s. I used to go to Church Kirk School a couple of streets away, and I used to go into the mill at dinner times where my mother warmed up meals in the ovens for my brother and I.I remember putting the cotton into the shuttles and kissing the shuttle and loading them into the loom.Although I was only 10 I could stop and start the loom and keep an eye on things whilst my Mum looked after her other 6 looms, My Dad was a tackler. does anyone know what he did?
