UK: Jobs Axe For 160 As Cotton Mill Closes
Up to British 160 textile workers are to lose their jobs after bosses of a long-established cotton mill announced it was to close after more than 100 years of production. Shiloh Spinners yarn mill in Bolton, in the north-west of England, is to close following a dramatic fall in turnover. The announcement is a fresh blow to the region's cotton industry following recent mill closures in nearby Oldham.
