YOU may recall that a few weeks ago, Ted Bennett wrote about his working years at Musgraves Mill (Atlas) in Mornington Road, Bolton.
Mr E Wilson, of Stanley Road, Bolton, writes to tell me that his brother worked at "Muzzies" in 1929-30, when this picture was taken. "The lad wearing glasses, second from the left, was my older brother Joe," writes Mr Wilson. "Shortly after the photograph was taken, Musgraves were on short time, and Joe went to work at the mill in Arrow Street, where he had an accident and died the same day -- November 24, 1930, aged 15. I don't know any of the other lads."
