Hi Strongbow Thanks for ordering it - this is my first attempt at writing a novel and at self-publishing, so I'm interested to hear what you think! (th) - thanks for your movie suggestion - it would be an interesting project, and you're quite right, Scottish scenery is stunning! I'm building up a co...
A wonderful collection of cotton spinning and weaving machinery from before and during the industrial revolution is exhibited at the Quarry Bank Mill near Styal in Cheshire, UK.
