Halley's Handloom Factory, Dundee
« on: Monday 30 March 15 17:28 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on Halley's handloom factory, Wallace Craigie, Dundee. Who built and owned the factory and what would be manufactured in the 1840's? Many thanks.

Do you have access to newspapers on line via British Newspaper Archive (BNA) or Find My Past? You can get a flavour what's available by checking the free search facility on BNA. Have seen reference to "osnaburg, dowlas and sheeting"?
