Légende

One of the mule-spinning rooms, driven by electricity, Brunswick Mill, Ancoats, 1909. Premises of Henry Bannerman and Sons, cotton spinners and manufacturers. '"Since the mule was invented, above a century ago," says Mr. John Lister in ''Cotton Manufacture," ''up to the present time, there has been a constant endeavour to increase the number of spindles. Fifty years ago each mule contained as many as from three to four hundred spindles...Mills are now built sufficiently wide to hold more than 1200 across the room."' From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
