The way we were.
 

I happened across this snippet of information ,concerning the vast wealth of the Bullough family,the mind boggles at the difference in incomes between this pampered family and the workers in their factory.Where theres muck there certainly was brass.

Some ttnigs never change over the years as the rich get richer and th poor poorer. The annual income for these kind of people is astounding yet a lot of the people they employed lived on the breadline. Seems as though they started a trend that will be a long time in dieing.

Did you note where the Bullough family home was.

Remember the fire that destroyed most of the buildings, at the Globe

Although the family made a fortune off the back of it's workers, the jobs they provided also put food on the table for a great many families in our area.
