ALL set to enjoy their works Christmas party in 1962 are these employees of the Garner Prestwich weaving mill in Skipton.
The picture was submitted by Patricia Tattersall, then of Skipton, now of Colne, who recalls the names of some, but not all, of her fellow workers. They are Susan Brown, Christine Barwick, Peter Lawson, Jacqueline Robinson, Sheila Thompson and Patricia Nelson. Does anyone remember any of the other faces?
At this time Garner Prestwick was located in the Park Shed Mill, on Brougham Street, having moved there from the Broughton Road Shed, which was almost destroyed by fire in 1958. The company was another to suffer in the slow decline of the industry throughout the 1960s and stopped production at the Park Shed in 1971.
