Hall i' th' Wood is an early 16th-century manor house in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. It is a Grade I listed building and is [1] The name represents Hall in the Wood' spoken in the local regional English dialect and is pronounced /ˈɔːlɪθˌwʊd/.currently used as a museum by Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council. It was the manor house for the moiety of the Tonge with Haulgh township held by the Brownlows in the 16th century. The original building is timber framed and has a stone flagged roof; there were later additions to the house, built from stone, in 1591 and 1648. Music pyres - broken elegance
The house was not used as a gentry house but rather given over to multiple occupation by families engaged in industry. Four (previously five) separate dwellings can be identified, each with its own entrance and staircase. [3] One part was let to Samuel Crompton during the 18th century, where he designed and built the first spinning mule.[2] About 1779, Crompton succeeded in producing a mule-jenny, a machine which spun yarn suitable for use in the manufacture of muslin.[4] It was known as the muslin wheel or the Hall i' th' Woodwheel[5] from the name of the house.[6]
Hall i' th' Wood was bought by William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1899 and was restored by Jonathan Simpson and Edward Ould.[7] Lever gave the house to the Corporation of Bolton in 1900.[1]
An episode of the television programme Most Haunted was filmed in the hall in 2008.[8]

Background to Story: British textiles and clothing, which played a central role in
the industrial revolution and dominated world markets for many decades, are today
in a state of crisis. Thousands of jobs are being lost each year, as inroads on
the British and world markets are made by countries as diverse as the Far East, the
United States and eastern Europe. The top and bottom ends of the market appear to
have been lost, and the only hope for the future is in specialisation and careful
planning.

English Ceilidh Dance Reels
I play this set of reels quite regularly at the ceilidh dances where my band PeakFolk perform. These are a really bouncy set of tunes and are well suited to folk dancing. Featuring Collins Mandolin, Fylde Mandola and Jay Haide Fiddle. The tunes are called 'The Bonny Breastknot' - 'Bottom of the Punchbowl' & 'Brighton Camp'
The reason I look so miserable, is because I am concentrating on playing all the instruments in sync and simply forgot to smile :)

Richard Arkwright
Sir Richard Arkwright was an inventor and a leading entrepreneur during the early Industrial Revolution. Although the patents were eventually overturned, he is credited with inventing the spinning frame, which, following the transition to water power, was renamed the water frame. He also patented a rotary carding engine that transformed raw cotton into cotton lap.
Arkwright's achievement was to combine power, machinery, semi-skilled labour and the new raw material to create mass-produced yarn. His skills of organization made him, more than anyone else, the creator of the modern factory system, especially in his mill at Cromford, Derbyshire. Later in his life Arkwright was known as 'the Father of the Industrial Revolution'.
