Description: | The town was built around the cotton and engineering industries and collections therefore include representative objects such as a section of a Mule (1927), a slubbing machine (1952) and drawing frame from the local textile industry (Platts). Locally made items include a Braddocks gas meter, Spencer lathe, Bradbury motor cycle and Bradbury sewing machines. Traditional crafts include wheelwrighting, clogging, hatting and the now-extinct local coal industry. | Subjects: | Science & Industry | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Oldham Cultural Quarter
