Description: Someone who worked in the textile industry operating a power loom, a mechanised loom powered by a drive shaft. It was popular in Lancashire, particularly in and around Manchester. It had great transportation networks using the extensive canal systems and local rivers such as the Mersey, was a natural hub thanks to the Fustian weavers, and had a ready supply of skilled workers used to operating the complex Dutch loom.
