The Mills

A Memory of Shaw Mills.

It is interesting to hear from some one who lived so close to me when I was little. We lived up from the high mill in hope cottage. My father Robert Stroud worked at the really awful mill most of his life for almost nothing. Mr Stear and Mr Crack treated the men as slaves. I will never forget the smell of the tannery. How about you. Janet Cecilia Gulick (Stroud). I emigrated to the states when I was 21. Could not bare to see so much poverty in England.
