      Radio Bristol this morning featured a man with a background of both an appreciation of blues music from the cotton plantations in America and an interest in local history. He has been inspired, by work done by Barton Hill History Society, to devise a musical community play entitled "King Cotton", based on the history of the Great Western Cotton Factory, where your predecessor Mr. Cullinane was a foreman. This fellow explained in a radio interview how this huge factory was built on a greenfield site at Barton Hill which was originally an area of orchards and market gardens (hence the 'local' "Rhubarb Tavern") and completely changed the nature of the area and of the inhabitants.
      Capital for the project was supplied by ten men who had profited from the slave trade and the West Indies and aimed, after slavery, to continue here the work they had done in America.
      Factory life ibn Barton Hill was pretty strict with mostly women working from 6 to 6 daily and 6-12 mid-day on Saturdays. One chap of 90-odd years, Wally Ball, rang in to say he remembered as a small boy being allowed to go with his mother to her workplace, with something like 1,000 women in a huge hall full of huge cast-iron shuttle machines, many, as was his mother, looking after up to 6 machines each. Dad will remember the road where he lived, Russeltown Avenue (which was originally called Dean Lane but was changed to distinguish it from the Dean Lane in Bedminster). The average employee total at the factory was usually around 1,200 to 1,800 and even up to 2,000.
      Finally, of course, due to the American cotton famine caused by boll weevil, and growing competition from Liverpool where access to the port was easier and so Port Charges were not so high, the Great Western project was never able fully to recover again.
      G.E.C. (General Electric Co.) were the last to use the factory premises, as a warehouse depot, before it was demolished. It was mentioned in the interview how it was a shame that demolition was considered necessary - that 'conservation' concerns most usually the property of the privileged rich and it is working traditions that always warrant 'demolition'.
