Description: | July 1965.
Image shows the weighing of a full sheet of blend in the Willey department at the Prospect Mills. Mr. Bill Talbot, the foreman in this department is taking a record of the weight of the sheet which would probably be 400 to 500 lbs. This needed to be known as quite often the quality of the blend depended on its weight. One of the commonest cargoes of lorries in Morley was bales of blend travelling between different firms, one of which might have run out of blend. The bales were usually winched up to the second floor of a typical three storey mill as this was the traditional location of the carding and scribbling machines.
