MANUFACTORIES.
The great centre of the cotton manufacture, Manchester, will be an object
of curiosity to the stranger on this account; and he will naturally be
desirous to view some of the processes and the operations of those mighty
agents, steam and machinery, which have added so much to the real wealth
and glory of England.
With suitable introductions, the inquiring visiter may visit the
following establishments, where he cannot fail to be astonished at the
vast scale on which the staple manufactures are conducted; and the
remarkable order, arrangement, and cleanliness maintained through all
their departments. The immense spinning mills of Messrs. McConnel & Co.,
Henry-street, Ancoats, will furnish to the visiter an inspection of the
various processes to which the raw cotton is subjected in the course of
its manufacture into twist, or thread for weaving.
In the large manufactory of the Oxford-road twist company, in
Oxford-road, he would see the processes of weaving by means of the steam
loom.
