These photographs of Brinton's personnel from the 1970s and early 1980s are only a tiny part of the Museum of Carpet's archive collection of photographs, books and artefacts relating to the carpet industry.
At the museum they share not only the industrial heritage, but also the social heritage, both with visitors to the museum and researchers who want to use the archive to trace their family history or for academic projects.
Contact the Museum of Carpet to find out more or why not go and visit this Autumn?
