Packing Loading bales of blankets for the station at Early's Newland Warehouse, 1898. Completed and folded blankets were tightly packed using a screw press to compress them before being wrapped in paper. They were packed into hessian bales which were secured by short wooden blanket skewers. The blankets were now ready to be taken to Witney goods station by horse-drawn cart for transport to the dryer. |
