r.padgett Origins: Foster's Mill (8) RE: Origins: Foster's Mill 28 Mar 21

Thanks all ~ I have a booklet The Luddites in Yorkshire ~ by James Berry 1970 mainly events around Rawfolds Mill, which is nearer to Cleckheaton ~and the rise of the Luddites an opposition to new methods using machinery throughout the area ~ hence the breaking of machines

Fewer men needed pf course ~ does not mention Fosters Mill ~ some Oath taking and strict measures against those for and against those who sided with or against the use of the new machinery

Ray

Georgina yes I have Jim Potter on fb ~ all the best to both of you

Plenty on mudcat no doubt already
