Description

DescriptionLeona worked at the Woollen Mills most of her working life and grew up in Cramb Street, Newtown. Ipswich Woollen Mills were originally the Cotton Mills. They were taken over by Joyce Brothers in 1907. The cotton mill was closed in 1913 and converted to a woollen mill. (Information from: Ipswich in the Twentieth century by Robyn Buchanan, 2004. See this website for more information). In 1962, the mills employed more than 225 people and produced approximately 25,000 yards of material a month. The Worsted combing machine has circular combs with metal teeth that are used to comb the wool fibres into flat bundles so that it may be carded and spun.
