She... and others I might add, would wind towels around their waists.... We had these towels for many many years... I can still recall the patterns on some of them.. The towels used at some of the Wimbledon Tennis Tournaments were once made here... Many a car boot stall in Hyde sold towels from here and slippers and gloves from James Norths.. ha!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
