The story behind Helen

Named after my nanna Helen, who lived in Withnell. She was in her earlier days a silk weaver at Withnell Mill. Silk weaving was a demanding task that required the use of a skilled eye to check for breakage in the fine yarns.  A quiet and calm lady with a great love for her family.
