HRH The Princess Royal visits John Spencer Textiles Weaving Mill, Burnley

HRH The Princess Royal delighted our staff and customers when paying a visit to our Burnley-based weaving mill. The Princess Royal attended in Her Royal Highness’ capacity as President of the UK Fashion and Textile Association to recognise our continued success in the industry, and to mark the part we play in the continuation of the skills for which the town is known. Next year sees us celebrate 150 years of continuous production in Burnley. As the last remaining traditional cotton weaver in the region, John Spencer Textiles has survived the downturn of the industry, a devastating fire and remains one of the UK’s largest weaving businesses - the first in the UK to achieve Soil Association accreditation.
