I AM currently undertaking research to enable me to write the history of Farington Cotton Mill which opened in 1836 and closed 138 years later in 1972.
As part of this research I am endeavouring to talk to as many people as possible who worked at the mill or whose relatives worked there at some stage. In particular, I woulddearly like to talk with a man who was a tackler, or maybe a tackler's relative.
Please write to me at the address below.
