Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A barefoot flax spinner of Sion Mills. This bronze sculpture is well positioned at the top of the "Mill lane" where these spinners of Herdmans Spinning mill would pass daily. The "spinning room" was always awash to keep a damp "climate" for the spinning of flax and the girls worked bare foot. At "dinner times" you could hear the approaching murmur of the workers as they made their way up the lane to their houses long before you met them. I seem to remember that they laughed and joked a lot and were brisk on their feet. |
