Carding

A Barton & Sons Ltd manufactured cotton wadding at their Albion Mill in Hazel Grove, Stockport. Their trade name was Lion Fleece Wadding. The mill closed by the 1970s and in 1984 was demolished for a supermarket development. Just before demolition I was able to visit the site and took a very few photographs. This is one of a long row of carding machines awaiting the scrap man.

Aschi "Freestone", Gabi Lombardo, Berny have particularly liked this photo
