Hi Barbara
I have only just become a member and found this thread. My grandmother was Silk Queen in 1933, Lilian Handforth. She is very much alive and well and is the grand age of 97. The photos she has are stunning and a reminder of the importance of such an industry. I noticed someone mentioned a film reel - It's of my Gran in 1933 and can be obtained from Manchester Metropolitan Uni. There are some photos of her and your Gt aunt that I have seen as well as others. Very precious memories to her.
Regards
Amanda
