Description
This photograph was staged during an arranged visit to a mill. It was impossible for Humphrey Spender to be a secret observer in work places and homes. It is likely that this mill belongs to the Barlow family who helped to fund the Mass Observation study in Bolton. If you can help us to identify this mill then please leave a comment below.
Hi there although i cant help with information about which mill this is i very strongly think that the young girl is my great auntie Nelly and i would love to find out more as i have seen this picture at the entrance of the museum for some time now and am sure its her.Im not sure how to find out more and am wondering if you could help.I think that her and my gran lived in the dean area if this is any use.If you can help in any way i would be very greatfull.Thanks for your time.
