I was interested in how people lived in Manchester previous to the industrial revolution, to investigate this I paid a visit to a relative of mines farm in Saddleworth, Oldam, that pre-dates the revolution. The top picture is an old weavers cottage, the building has many, many windows to allow as much light in as possible to ensure the weaver had enough light. because,of cause previous to the advent on machinery this would have all been done manually.
