Notes: | This view represents the ruins of the crinoline manufactory of Messrs Barker and Johnson, at Malin Bridge. Here the walls were broken down, the works gutted and the two large boilers, seen in the engraving were stripped of their covering. For a considerable distance the valley was strewn with crinoline wire washed out of this manufactory. The stable has only a portion of one wall left standing. One of the proprietors of these works was drowned, at the time lodging with the Trickett family. The whole of which were swept away.
