By 1971 one mill was disused and partially demolished, but Bright's continued to use the other mill (with stack). Bright's were always regarded as a good firm to work for – they provided, for instance, a creche where babies and small children could be looked after while their mothers were at work.[5]
Notes: Bales of cotton, the first from Mexico, were blamed for a small smallpox outbreak 30 May 1914, affecting blowing room operatives, and others. The mill was described as having 2 bale breakers, 2 blowing room operatives, 4 cardroom jobbers, 2 can breakers, 4 drawing room (tenter)s and 4 assistants,4 slubbers and 4 assistant slubbers, 6 intermediate roving frame tenters, 8 roving frame tenters and 90 ring room operatives. New Ladyhouse mill was the first ring spinning mill established in 1879. Palm Mill was built in 1884, then Burns ring spinning, Heywood in 1891 and Nile (Oldham) and Era (Rochdale)in 1898. Ring spinning was more labour intensive working a 1:79 spindle to operative ratio.[6]
