Description: | c1930s.
View of the mill yard of Prospect Mills showing a mill worker, thought to be Charlie Cowling, standing beside a drum of reclaimed oil. Besides recovering wool from rags in order to make shoddy weft, much oil was used in the pulling and spinning of blends to make the fibres stick together. The excess oil used in the processes was also recovered for re-use. Note the clogs and the oil soaked overalls that Mr. Cowling is wearing.
