Below is a link to a website for a television series called "Abandoned",
which I'm told aired recently on the History Channel. A group of
people go into abandoned buildings to salvage whatever they can. This
particular episode was about the Scranton Lace Company in Pennsylvania,
which was in business for 105 years and claimed to be the world's
largest producer of 'Nottingham' Lace. Some of the lace machines are
from the 1890s. (I regret I didn't see the programme myself, but I will
be looking out for it.)

Note: there are a great many photographs on the web site, so it takes
longer than usual to download.

more frost today, but at least the Sun is shining on us).
