Museum of Science and Industry. - Furthering Research

I didnt realise that the Museum of Science and Industry held all of the old machinery used in the cotton making process. It was enlightening to go down and introduce myself with how vast the machinery was that would of been held and used daily in hotspur. The scale of the machines was crazy! I managed to source a book from the local collections area of the library called 'Mirth in the Mill' - the gradely world of Sam Fitton. It explains in depth each area of the mill for example 'the millworkers day' 'the spinning room' 'child labour' etc. It has given me an all round knowledge of what it would have been like to be working or in that environment in the 18th century. The Museum of Science and Industry however also had an underground manchester part, using my disposeable cameras to document i have a very eerie picture of what would have been the underground bricked tunnels of manchester. Creepy.
