The Singing Doffer is the name of our museum in the mill. I was given the honour of naming it and originally thought Spinner’s Nook would be a cool name. Then Joe, Boss of The Mill, pointed out that people of a childish disposition might see it as a chance to practice their innuendo. (Much like the time Becky, Boss of Frock Around the Clock, cautioned me against calling the Busker’s Den the Busker’s Entry.) I must have an innocent mind if I can’t pick up on these things. Anyway, this is where I was interviewed the other day if you’re thinking it looks familiar. It’s a tiny museum, but from little acorns and all that . . . so if anyone has anything they could donate or lend us that would be great. In the meantime if you’re wanting help with naming something, then maybe you’re best not asking me.






Rosie, my naive and innocent-minded friend – I love that your the way you have captured the top photograph makes it look as though the bobbins are holding up the roof like columns!
I never noticed (surprise, surprise), but it looks good like that!
