In the past Manchester was the central hub of activity when it came to the cotton and textile trade during the 19th Century, with its imposing cotton mills dotted all around the city.
However by the end of the Second World War that was all to change seeing mass closure of the mills and the decline of the industry in the North East.
Now years after spinning died out in the UK it has once again been reborn, with large companies bringing their new cotton spinning businesses back to the heart of the City once again, there is high demand worldwide for high quality thread in the fashion industry as designs and clothing lines get ever more sophisticated.
