Description: | Large wooden bobbin with grey wool. This was used by Mrs Annie
Bradley, a blind homeworker, as part of her sock-making business
in Tower Gardens, Tottenham. The wool was waxed using a candle
before threading onto the knitting machine. It was used by Mrs
Bradley from the 1920s until she died in 2005, just short of her
100th birthday. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | work Communities Home and Family | Temporal: | 1920 (circa) | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
