Wow! :shock:
What an amazing amount of information they have there! Did it come up in a google search, or how did you find it? The amount of time they must have spent putting that together...
This web publication contains around 31,000 pages of information and 19,000 images on early companies, their products and the people who designed and built them. Additions are being made to the information on a daily basis.
All the best,
Sarah

Hi Sarah
I was google - ing my Fox family in Salford and on about the third or fourth page i saw "Cotton Mills in Manchester and Salford 1891 - GracesGuide"
they and some of my Caseys (when in England) worked in the cotton mills so i clicked it.
Dont usually go past the third page of a google anymore but glad i did this time !
