A MAN who was bom into a long-established C l i th e ro e te x t i le 1 «mily and could recall the days of clogs and shawls has died a


month before his 93rd birthday. Mr Thomas Garnett was


the son of the owner of the fo rm er Low Moor Mill,

people, but he spent most of ms own career in a vari­ ety of jobs, ranging from


t e a c h i n g to a n t i q u e dealing. His work took him to


several p a i ls of the coun­ try and abroad, but he and his wife, Eileen (now SS), returned to the CHthcroe a re a in th e 1970s, and have lived both in West B radford and Clitheroe during recent years. When lie celebrated his 9 0 th b i r th d a y on J u ly

"T h e y came in th e i r


clogs and shawls,” he said. “ I t did not m a t te r what tlie weather was like, that


was th e norm for those days.” His father, William, was


th e la s t own er of Low Moor Mill, which closed in l 9 2 S . T h e m i l l w a s founded in 1799 by J ere ­ miah Garnett, who came from Otley to launch an enterprise which for more th an a c en tu ry was the hub of a h a rd -w o rk in g community on the banks of the Kibble.
