“1894 William Westall. Tinkler. Ludgate Illustrated Magazine. Vol VIII Thrutch factory was a queer old concern. It had been built piecemeal-here a bit and there a bit. There were a new end and an old end, the spinning-rooms in the one being light and lofty, in the other low. and gloomy. Looms were shoved in everywhere. There were a "long shop" with three hundred, a "top shop" with a hundred, a "back shop" with fifty-three, and a "little shop" with fifteen. Never was its equal for gearing. Shafts were everywhere inside and out, overground and underground, climbing snake-like up the walls, and boring into the roofs; spurwheels, great and small, whirled, clashed and "backlashed" all over the place.”
