This vintage lantern slide captures a moment in the late Victorian period at a woollen mill in Bradford, Yorkshire. The image shows workers engaged in the intricate and skilled tasks of burling and mending pieces of cloth. These processes were essential to ensuring the quality and durability of the textiles produced at the factory.
The scene is bustling with activity as workers meticulously inspect each piece, identifying any imperfections or flaws that need to be repaired. With focused concentration, they use specialized tools to carefully mend any tears or holes, ensuring that each piece meets the high standards set by the mill.

The machinery hums in the background, while workers move swiftly and efficiently through their tasks. The atmosphere is one of hard work and dedication to producing top-quality woolen goods for customers near and far.
