Re: F.steiner & co, turkey red dyeworks.
Just off Rochdale Road in Harpurhey, Manchester is Turkey Lane where until the 1980s a huge old Dyehouse was sited.
In the early 19th century the firm produced the " turkey red " dyed cloth used by the British Army " redcoats ". I wonder if F. Steiner's Turkey Red Dyehouse at Church also produced red-dyed cloth for the Army.
