I HAVE many memories of the cotton mills, having worked in Bolton for some 50 years since leaving school in 1928.

My two books "Memories of life in the Lancashire Village of Edgworth in the years 1920-30", published in 1993, and a follow up, published in March of this year, tell many stories of life in the mills, which may be of interest to you.
