Weaving Department M.S.T.
I have an old pattern book from my grandpa which has "Weaving Department M.S.T." embossed on the spine.
What does M.S.T. stand for? Thanks!

Re: Weaving Department M.S.T.
If you struggle on this, ask the staff at Queen Street Mill, Burnley. They have a large textiles library

Re: Weaving Department M.S.T.
Thanks Bob,
I'm beginning to think it may be Manchester School of Textiles, although Google doesn't turn anything up. I've sent them an email.
