Financial problems led to changes in management of the mill company and it was finally completed in 1913 by Philip Sidney Stott.
At its peak, the mill employed approximately 300 people to run 52 pairs of spinning mules with a total of 137,312 spindles.

In Sabadell, my hometown, this kind of housing was known as "english houses" (cases anglèses). It's quite apt, considering that Sabadell was known in the XIX Century as the Catalan Manchester, due to it's textile industry.

In 1889 Hugh Campbell moved to Halifax to start his own business manufacturing gas engines. He set up a workshop in Stone Dam Works, Well Lane, Halifax, financed by local people who admired his workmanship. As the business developed he had new premises built and moved out of the Stone Dam site. The building is Grade II listed.
Taking a moment to think about how to upcycle some of my old work clothes. I have no designs or expectations for them, I just like the fabrics still. Most likely they will stay packed in a box until I have a bunch of moments together in time to be creative with them. Maybe an artistic idea will appear in a new moment somewhere along the way.
Whoever said 'Live in the moment' was very wise...
The patterns were my Grandmother's. She was an amazing seamstress and she sewed everything on her Singer No. 66. I don't sew, but I do know how to glue, tape and staple. The little vase was something I made in high school art class sometime in the 70's.
