Hello There, I work at the Coffin Works Museum and have just seen this post - we would love to hear more about your mum if you are still on this forum?Newmans
My Mother was in charge of the Shroud making at Newmans in the 50s
some of the shrouds in those days used to cost up to three thousand pounds and the work that went into some of them was hard to believe
used to come home very upset some days when they had to make a shroud for very little children and they made a lot of them but she loved working there for many years. anybody out there remember her
used to call her Vi.
Ah that's a shame, 2007 was a long time ago but it was worth a shot, we've found someone who may have been her mum in the wages ledger. Hopefully she will re-join and get in touch. Xxhi kate historymaker made that post in 2007 and is now only a guest on the forum so wont be able to reply to you unless he/she rejoins

It is said that there are no pockets in shrouds, but there seems to be money in them!Newmans
