Description: | Benjamin Parr senior carried on spinning at the Howley Low Mill. Benjamin Parr junior succeded his father at the mill whilst the brothers - Sam and John - were in the waste shoddy trade on their own. There has always been a certain amount of controversy as to who actually introduced shoddy into Batley. A Law family were concerned and perhaps both Law and Par families were linked together in procuring the first shoddy. However there seems no doubt that Sam Parr was the originator of the work Mungo. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ |
