description: The book is in Polish and relates the story of the model town of Marki in Poland. Edward Briggs of Bradford, West Riding of Yorkshire, built his spinning mill and accommodation in the town in the mid-1880s. It is said that the principle of his model village was taken from the model village of Saltaire in Shipley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. There is one short section in English, which appears to be the script of a play about the Briggs family and the founding of the mill.

abstract: Donald was born in 1925, in Slaithwaite near Huddersfield, to a family who had many connections with Salts Mill and Saltaire from the 1850’s onward. Donald’s father, however, worked at Globe Mills in Slaithwaite and Donald was able to get an apprenticeship there. During World War Two he was called up and served in the Royal Navy. He returned to Globe after the war and his ‘after work’ studies at a Technical College resulted in his qualifying as an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Secretaries and Administrators. Globe Mills were part of the Illingworth, Morris Textile Group and Donald was soon spotted as being a highly talented ‘wool man’. He quickly rose through the ranks and came to know the majority shareholders – the Ostrer brothers – of Illingworth, Morris very well. He was made a director of the company and after spells at senior management level at Salts Mill and elsewhere, in 1980 he was appointed as Chair of the Board and Joint Chief executive of the company (whose headquarters had been Salts Mill from 1958). Extraordinary drama was to follow after the heir to the Ostrer brothers shares in the company – Pamela Mason, a Hollywood chat show hostess – became increasingly hostile to the ‘Yorkshire Directors’. The drama was the subject of much global news and ended in some very surprising outcomes.

abstract: Feliks was born in Poland in 1920. He was a Polish Junior Cadet when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, and was based many miles from home at Wilno near the Russian Border. The cadets wore military uniform and were likely to be a target for the German invaders. Feliks fled to Lithuania where he was held with others in a camp for a short time until Russian troops began to move these men to various camps across Eastern Europe. Things changed dramatically when Germany declared war on Russia. Feliks was moved several times. He eventually arrived in Persia and came under British Army command. He fought with the British and was among the forces who fought their way through Italy – it was the Polish force that took Monte Casino from the German Troops. As War came to an end, Polish army personnel were left stranded and arguments about their future occurred in the British Parliament. Ultimately Feliks was accepted into England and was to find work at Salts Mill where he remained until he retired. He married and had children. Feliks remained ever-grateful to the British Government for allowing him and his family to have a decent life. Although he was able to visit Poland again after Stalin’s regime ended, he did now want to return there to live.

abstract: Frank started work at Salts Mill in 1933 in the mill basement, moved to work in the gatehouse, checking visitors to the mill and hoping for an apprenticeship. After various changes of department, attendance at night school 5 nights each week and service during World War Two in the RAF, Frank became head of the ‘Costing Department’ in Salts Mill – calculating the costs of each type of cloth produced for the sales work force. He lived through several changes in management of the mill and the advances of new technology – retiring from work there in 1983, just a few years prior to the end of textile production.

abstract: Three Italian sisters, Dora, Velia and Margherita, were born in a village called Avezzano 40 miles from Naples. They were recruited through the ‘The European Volunteer Workers Scheme’ in the Campania region of Italy to come to work in Mason’s textile mill, Shipley in 1958/59. Their father had become bankrupt during the economic depression in Italy after the Second World War. The sisters were anxious to help their large family by gaining paid employment in Britain. The relatively high level of economic growth in the UK during the post-war period had led an acute labour shortage within key sectors. European workers were therefore invited in order to cover the need for low-paid and unskilled work. The majority of the workers recruited originated in Eastern European countries such as the Ukraine, Poland and Latvia. Locally however, many Italian and some Austrian women were recruited to work in the textile industries in the Bradford District and in Manchester. The Ricciardo sisters had previously worked for their father in his business of growing and harvesting strong grasses used for weaving baskets and for mattress filling. They had previous experience in processing the materials and converting this ‘Strama’ into a form of ‘yarn’ to produce household goods. The recruitment process they went through involved 200 ‘girls’ from their area who were interviewed by two people from England. They stayed in a camp outside Naples and had to undergo x ray examinations, blood tests, eye tests and many other invasive medical examinations and answer detailed questions about their families. The process felt undignified but the sisters, very aware of the struggle for food and necessities for their parents and remaining siblings, tolerated the invasive process. Only 16 of the applicants were accepted at this point in time. On being accepted, the sisters applied for passports and arrived in England in March 1959. They were met off the boat in Dover by two Italian women already working fo…

abstract: Mohammed Aziz (who prefers to be known as Aziz) was born in the village of Chattroh, Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, India in 1929, long before the partition of India and the establishment of the new nation of Pakistan, where his birthplace is now located. His village was in the area affected by the later building of the Mangla Dam but was too high up the mountain to be wiped out by the dam. While the village residents were not badly affected by the mass migration of Muslims from India during partition in 1947, they heard the horror stories about the many deaths that occurred at that time. After Aziz completed his education in 1952 he went to Karachi to look for work. He was able to get a job through the support of a cousin who recommended Aziz and he began work in the postal service. He was employed there from 1952 to 1957 and his wage was 75 Rupees per month. He felt lucky to have that salary at this point in time. His father Ghulab Khan was a merchant seaman and travelled the world collecting and delivering products. In the early 1950s Ghulab had docked in Liverpool, England and decided to live and work in England as there were many job opportunities that offered more stability. After finding work in the textile industry in Bradford, Ghulab sent for Aziz to come to England to find similar work. At that time Aziz did not need a visa or work permit to enter England as the British Nationality Act of 1948, gave all Commonwealth citizens free entry into Britain. He was able to travel quite cheaply from Karachi to England. He recalls arriving at Heathrow Airport, then getting on a coach to Kings Cross to travel by train to Bradford.
