[Margaret Pilkington]

Quite a few weavers from Whiteheads were employed by Enfield Manufacturing......we took what we could get because the industry was, quite clearly, dying.
If I had stared out on Lancashire looms and then gone onto Automatics I think it would have been an easier transition........I wasn't keen on the twills and dobbies, they seemed very dull after weaving the colourful stuff that we had been making at Whiteheads.
Anyway, it all turned out for the best in the end.
