Miss Seward's wealth[edit]

This sentence in the article may be poorly phrased: "Miss Seward finally helped him to become part-owner of a cotton mill in Cressbrook Dale, and became wealthy." Is the intent, really, to indicate that Miss Seward became wealthy? Tim Ross (talk) 11:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kills an Apprentice[edit]

An account exists from a former apprentice at Cressbrook Mill, that seems to provide a little more depth to this man's character:

'The master, Mr. Newton, kicked her where he should not do, and it caused her to wear away till she died. There was another, Caroline Thompson. They beat her till she went out of her mind.' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.220.118.25 (talk) 01:18, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
