The Mill Girls

With tales from hardworking Audrey and mischievous Maureen to high-spirited Doris and dedicated Marjorie The Mill Girls is an evocative story of hardship and friendship from when cotton was king. Through the eyes of these northern mill girls we are offering a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary women who rallied together nattered over the beamers and despite the difficult working conditions weaved packed and laughed to keep the cotton mills spinning.
