Jean Hunter of Bankfoot. Dundee jute mills 1940s/1950s. My mother spent her entire working life in the jute mills, from starting as a teenager to the day she retired. She was a weaver and we were always made aware that there was a definite hierarchy at the mill and that weavers were much higher up this pecking order than spinners. As if to emphasise this my mother would leave the house every morning wearing her hat & gloves, no matter what the weather, so that everyone would know she was a weaver!
