13_1SM001 Silkmill Lane 2006 - looking east from where the old silk mill once stood. The mill employed about 250 workers of which 140 were children who started at the age of 6. Most of the remainder were women. The business went bankrupt in 1848 and the mill was subsequently demolished. By Tony Morris
