Hmm, the area I grew up in had plenty of textile mills, garment factories and footwear factories up until the '70s. I did work with some when I was young and wish those places were still around -- not just because of the great workmanship that came out of them: I also have fond memories of sneaking into what we called the wool factory on Sunday afternoons as a kid to spend hours leaping from the rafters into gigantic vats of shorn wool. Still, there could be an up-side to the pictures posted. Any really bright squatters would have been able to completely outfit themselves in quality clothing and gone out in search of a job! -C. ------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent from Netspace Webmail: http://www.netspace.net.au _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
