Family Ties
Stories from Hall's Barton Ropery
When Hall's Barton Ropery closed its doors in 1989 almost 200 years of ropemaking came to an end. For the men and women who worked there, the Ropery was more than machinery and buildings - it was part of their daily lives. Family Ties brings together the stories and memories of former workers and their families: recollections of good friends, hard times and hard work. The routine of everyday working lives set against a changing industrial landscape.

The two books can be purachased from the Ropewalk, priced at £5 each.
