My Grandfather, Chris Lowe was inside manager of the cotton mill before the second world war.

My mother Gertrude Hilton (nee Partington ) left school at around 15 years old and went straight to Bradley factory to work as a weaver. She retired when she reached 60 having spent all her working life as a weaver at Bradley. She sadly passed away at 66 years old as a result of all that cotton dust collecting on her lungs. No thoughts of health and safety in those dark days !
