Paul as found this mill and the town it is in... but we have both forgot where... once we do I will update this.. in the mean time I will leave the picture here and when a more suitable picture is found this will be removed along with this.

After a hard shift in the mill the local Spinners and other workers would make use of the many pubs to quench their thirsts... and I suppose there was none as welcome to them as the one below.

Some were practical, of course, but others were psychological and
emotional. At the end of each round read out the cumulative scores.
The buccal cavity is a small cavity that has neither jaws nor teeth.

The 10th photograph showing as Slack Mills has definately proved not to be Slack Mills. The location was found, but have now forgotten exactly where, will look into and post later when found.
Hyde Lad in correct, the picture in the above post is 'NOT' Slack Mills as we first thought it was... very similar but it is another mill inanother mill town.
I have left the picture in the post andhave made it known itis not the mill.. It will be replaced hopefully in the near future when a suitable picture is found.
Tom, Paul.
