Title
Net factory workers operating looms, Campbeltown, pre 1914.
Description
Female net factory workers operating the hand looms which manufactured netting (for drift-nets as well as ring-nets), Campbeltown, pre 1914. Campbeltown net-factory was established c 1860 by a local merchant, John Huie, who died in 1863 from typhoid fever. The factory was bought the following year by another Campbeltown merchant, Thomas Brown. By 1873, there were 30 hand looms in the factory, all operated by women. The factory was taken over c 1925 by Joseph Gundry & Co. Ltd. of Bridport, Dorset. In 1966, now trading as Bridport-Gundry, factory staff assembled the first purse-seine net to be manufactured for a British vessel, Donald Anderson’s ‘Glenugie III’ PD347. The rigging of the net was supervised by an Icelander, Haldar Arnison. The factory closed in the mid 1970s. Original image from Mr W. Anderson via I. Stewart.
