REEDS, REEDMAKERS & REEDMAKING Introduction I became interested in reed makers initially because my wife’s maternal family, SHARPLES, had been reed makers in the Blackburn area since the latter part of the 18th century. It was clear that the trade was passed from father to sons. Initially by using the 1881 Census, I set about looking for reedmaking SHARPLES. This investigation showed that reedmaking was a fairly specialised trade and each major town had very few reedmakers. The 1828/9 Pigot & Co’s Commercial Directory listed only about eighty reedmakers in Lancashire of whom several had the same surnames indicating close family ties to the trade. These facts persuaded me to investigate the subject further.

I resolved to “collect” as much information as possible much of which would have to come via the Internet including Census, Parish Records and Trade Directories.

One area which would be the most difficult would be anecdotal. Reedmaking as a trade largely died out with the demise of the Lancashire cotton industry and few people alive today would be able to recall the conditions which was prevalent during its heyday. None of the reedmakers in my findings were wealthy. Some were adequately provided for and some were downright poor.

I have seen it said that by the middle of the 19th century there were more looms in Lancashire than people. If the population was about one million, there would have been at least the same number of looms. Each loom would be provided with a system of reeds and healds. The number of reedmakers was only a small fraction of this consequently the importance of that trade cannot be underestimated.

Reedmakers would be highly skilled and perhaps their nearest present day equivalent would be precision tool makers.

There was an exhibition of reeds and descriptive text at Helmshore Textile Museum which I now understand is located at Queen Street Mill, Burnley and a bit further afield I visited the Shelburne Museum, Vermont which has an excellent display. The Reed or Beater (colloquially known as a 'sley') A reed which is an integral component of every loom, is a device consisting of several wires closely set between two slats or baulks. It is used to beat up the weft inserted by the shuttle to produce a compact cloth. It also helps to keep the warp threads in their proper position according to the fineness of the fabric and it acts as a back guide for the shuttle to run against.

Before the early 18th century, reeds were made from split cane. Later flattened wire was used, held in wooden strips bound with pitched twine. The spacing or dent of the reed varies widely depending on the application and the change wheels allow a wide range of dents to be produced.

The flattened wire must be extremely smooth and straight and is therefore carefully polished before use. The reed making machine takes the polished, flattened wire, the wood strips and whips them together with the pitched twine. A gas flame under the reed keeps the pitched twine soft and workable.

The reed must be carefully inspected after manufacture and any minor faults adjusted. The tape over the whipping protects it and gives a more finished appearance.

Many complex forms of reed have been produced for specialised fabrics (including tapered reeds used in the Rossendale area for weaving the top of slippers). The modern industry usually uses all metal soldered reeds which can be made very strong. The Heald or Heddle (colloquially known as a “yeld”) Healds are used to control the shedding of the warp so that the shuttle can pass across the loom. They were made from knitted textile cord or from metal. Both have an eye or noose through which the warp threads are passed so that they could be alternately raised and lowered for the shuttle to pass through with the weft thread.

For a simple weave pattern alternate eyelets are moved up to raise the corresponding warp threads and the threads between are moved down. When the shuttle travels back their positions are reversed.

The shuttle was propelled across the loom between the "up" and "down" warp threads by a "picking stick. The cycle being repeated perhaps 200 times a minute this was responsible for a lot of the noise.

2

All the warp threads have to be threaded through the heald eyelet and its gap in the reed. This was done by "drawers" and "reachers". A new warp thread (or "end") sometimes had to be joined to an old one. This was done by a "loomer" or "twister". “Overlookers” also known as "tacklers", were responsible for setting the looms up with fresh warps and keeping the machinery in good working order.

Knitted cord healds are made entirely from knitted textile cords, in which the central eye is formed by looping. This often had a steel or brass insert to allow the warp to move more freely. After knitting, the healds were varnished and dried in a special oven.

Metal healds are made from shaped wire, or flat steel strip, produced in a wide range of sizes up to very substantial ones for carpet looms. The machines which twist and form the wire tend to be very dirty and smelly because the process includes flux dipping and tinning of the wire with solder.

A member of the Swedenborg religious sect, by trade Highs was a reed maker, who, in many ways he can be regarded as the true genius of the Industrial Revolution. A brilliant inventor but a poor businessmen he never had the resources to patent his inventions, despite having developed the forerunner of both the Spinning Jenny and the Water Frame. He gave his preliminary design for the Spinning Jenny to James

55

I.D. BIRTH YEAR


Hargreaves, who subsequently developed it and took the credit for its invention. Similarly, High's Water Frame was later built by John Kay and Richard Arkwright. Highs was by all accounts a humble man, unambitious and without the drive to acquire patronage for his inventions, a fact that prevented him from either reaping his just rewards or from establishing the fame and respect which he deserved. On the back of Highs' work, Sir Richard Arkwright lived to acquire a fortune while Highs lived out the remainder of his life in relative obscurity and poverty. Highs later claimed that Kay and Arkwright had both stolen his own ideas. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Highs Thomas Highs (1718 – 1803) of Leigh, Lancashire was a reed-maker and manufacturer of cotton carding and spinning engines. He is known for claiming patents on a spinning jenny, a carding machine, the throstle (a machine for the continuous twisting and winding of wool) and the water frame in the 1780s. He was born at Leigh in 1718 and lived most of his life there. It is said he was a talented reed maker (a reed being a comb-like strip attached to the batten of a loom, which kept the warp threads apart and helped the weaver to pack the weft threads tight on the newly-woven cloth). He married Sarah Moss on the 23rd February 1747, at the Leigh Parish Church. Five years after his marriage, he became interested in cotton-spinning machinery and started to experiment with the drafting rollers patented by Lewis Paul and John Wyatt which he would later try to perfect with the help of John Kay, a clockmaker from Warrington. Highs and Kay laboured for months, and eventually produced a machine in 1764 which did not involve rollers which they called the "spinning jenny". Highs neighbour, Thomas Leather, swore on oath that Highs named the machine after his daughter Jane, although other possible reasons for the name have been suggested. One possibility is that "Jenny" is a corruption of 'engine', as in Whitney's cotton gin. The other is that the word is an allusion to the name for a female ass, a beast of burden that would relieve a man of some of his work. The argument for the latter is strengthened by the fact that that the machine Samuel Crompton later developed by combining the spinning jenny and the water frame was called a spinning mule. However, although Highs made and sold several jennies he never perfected the device and passed it on to another inventor, James Hargreaves. Highs knew the Jenny's limitations. It could produce only thread that was suitable for weft. Its output was too soft to be used for warp, which still had to be manufactured from linen. While Hargreaves worked on the spinning jenny, Highs at last managed to perfect a machine using rollers. A machine later to be called the water frame. Whereas the Jenny had stretched the thread by

56

I.D. BIRTH YEAR


trapping it in a sort of wooden vice and pulling it out, the water frame achieved better results by passing the roving through two sets of gripping rollers. The second set were rotating at five times the speed of the first, so the thread was stretched to exactly five times its original length, before being given its vital twist by a bobbin and flyer. The machine produced stronger thread than the Jenny, thread that was suitable for warp. Highs gave clockmaker Kay a wooden model of his brainchild and asked him to make a working metal version. Kay did so prior to returning to live a few miles away in his native Warrington. Richard Arkwright met Kay on his business travels, gained his confidence and over a drink in a pub persuaded him to hand over the secrets of Highs's machines. Arkwright, later Sir Richard Arkwright, developed a substantial fortune and reputation in the cotton industry from Highs's inventions, while Highs lived the rest of his life in obscurity before his death in 1803. In 1775 Arkwright patented a variety of machinery that performed all the processes of manufacture, from cleaning to carding to final spinning. In 1781, Arkwright went to court to protect his patents but the move rebounded when his patents were overturned. Four years later, after seeing his patents restored temporarily, the truth finally came out in another, definitive court battle of 1785 in London. Highs, Kay, Kay's wife and the widow of James Hargreaves all testified that Arkwright had stolen their inventions. The court agreed and Arkwright's patents were finally laid aside. There is still one final twist to the story and it links Highs the third and possibly the greatest of the 18th-century's spinning inventions, the spinning mule. The accepted story is that Samuel Crompton of Bolton invented the spinning mule, which was a cross between the spinning jenny and the water frame, using the moving-carriage principle and the spindle-winding system of the earlier machine with the drafting rollers of the later one. Crompton claimed he had no knowledge of Arkwright's rollers and came upon the idea independently between 1772 when he began work and 1779 however it is known that Highs, one of the very few men with intimate knowledge of both Jenny and water frame, lived in Bolton during that time and was, in fact, a member of the same, tightly-knit Swedenborgian religious sect as Crompton. Whatever the truth, there is no doubt that Thomas Highs was a man of genius, robbed of credit, wealth and his rightful place in history by Richard Arkwright who in spite of being discredited, still dominates the story of cotton. From The Cotton Times – Understanding The Industrial Revolution http://www.cottontimes.co.uk/highs.htm One of the great, unanswered questions of modern history is whether the credit for kick-starting the Industrial Revolution was

57

given to the wrong men. The text books tell us that James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny, Richard Arkwright the water frame and Samuel Crompton the spinning mule but there is a disturbing possibility that another man, now virtually unknown, was robbed of the title to two if not all three of the machines that helped to change the world. It's a story of intrigue, collusion and outright skullduggery, a nasty game played for the highest stakes with one man, almost certainly the wrong man, coming out on top. Read it and draw your own conclusions. Thomas Highs, the name was probably Heyes, misspelled by the registrar, was born in Leigh, Lancashire, in 1718. Sources agree he was a talented reedmaker (a reed was a comb-like strip attached to the batten of a loom, which kept the warp threads apart and helped the weaver to pack the weft threads tight on the newly-woven cloth). In 1752, five years after his marriage to local girl Sarah Moss, he began experimenting with the drafting rollers that were later to change the face of the industry. He did not invent roller-drafting - credit for that goes to Lewis Paul and John Wyatt, who patented the idea in 1738. But he probably succeeded where they failed, and turned rollers into a practical proposition. However, we are leaping ahead with the story. At this time, the flying shuttle that had been invented by John Kay 20 years earlier was taking over on Lancashire cotton handlooms, and the race was on to find a machine that would meet the spiralling demand for cotton thread. Highs probably realised very quickly that the intricate mechanics required to make drafting rollers work were beyond his abilities at this stage, and he teamed up with a Warrington clockmaker called John Kay to look for a quicker fix. Behind locked doors, they laboured for several months, ignoring the taunts of their neighbours, but eventually became so frustrated that one Sunday evening, they opened the garret window of Highs's house and tossed the machinery out into the street. Kay went home but Highs had second thoughts, gathered up the bits and reassembled them. Eventually, in 1764, he produced a machine that he christened the spinning jenny. We know the date from a man named Thomas Leather, whose father Richard had taken a public house, called the Seven Stars, in The Walk in Leigh in May, 1763. The Leathers stayed there until May, 1766, during which time Highs and Kay were his neighbours. In the first or second of those years - ie 1763 or 1764 - Leather attested, Highs built his first Jenny. Why 'Jenny'? There are three possibilities. The first is that Highs named it after his daughter, Jane. (There is a sworn statement from Leather that this was the case.). The second is that the word is a corruption of 'engine', as in Whitney's cotton gin. The third is that the word is an allusion to the name for a female ass, a beast of burden that would take a load of work off the shoulders of

man. It may have been more than coincidence that Crompton's later development was called a mule. In its original form, it was about a yard square and produced six threads of cotton as fast as a hand-spinner could make just one. It was also capable of development but Highs, without the money to patent his idea, cashed in instead by building machines for hire however he knew the Jenny's limitations. It could produce only thread that was suitable for weft. Its output was too soft to be used for warp, which still had to be manufactured from linen.

I.D. BIRTH YEAR


November in this year One Thousand and Eight Hundred and Twelve. This marriage solemnised between us Wm Sharpls Alice X Greenwood her mark in the presence of Geo. Pickup & Robert Cunliffe Note: Before the 's' of Sharples there is what I have transcribed as 'l', although a bit shorter than one might expect, but which could just possibly be meant as a taller than usual 'e'. I prefer to read it as 'l', because writing phonetically he would be more likely to miss out the 'e'. On the same day (note: Fifth) a marriage was recorded between Abel Bridge and Elizabeth Cunliffe. From memory only I think Geo. Pickup also was a witness for them. Pigot & Co’s National Commercial Directory 1828/9 lists William SHARPLES, reedmaker Helmshore I am almost certain that the William SHARPLES referred to in the above Directory is the son of Thomas and probably the father of Ann who was baptised the daughter of William and Alice SHARPLES of Musbury Town, reed maker at Haslingden St. James on the 25th February 1813. I am also almost certain that William & Alice SHARPLES moved to Bury however apart from the Haslingden baptism of Ann, I have been unable thus far to discover the births/baptisms of any of their other children in particular John who was living near to them in 1841 and 1851 (in fact I’m not even sure he was their son!).

Reference is made to a James WHITEHEAD, reedmaker of Bury in the Universal British Directory 1791. No further references to James WHITEHEAD were found in Trade Directories however a Henry WHITEHEAD, reedmaker of Union Square, Bury was listed in the England Commercial Directory 1816 – 17 and in Pigot & Dean Directory 1821 – 22. The latter gave the address as 54, Union Square. Ann WHITEHEAD, reedmaker of Union Square, Bury was listed in Pigot & Co’s National Commercial

I.D. BIRTH YEAR


Directory 1828 – 29. Baines Lancashire Directory of 1825 has James WHITEHEAD, 54, Union Square, reedmaker.The Pigot Directory of 1834 lists James WHITEHEAD, Bolton Street, reedmaker and in 1841 presumably the same but he was also an earthenware dealer. It is quite likely that the above are related. Grave No. 414 at The Parish Church of St. Mary, Bury has the following inscription :- Here resteth the body of Alice, the wife of James WHITEHEAD who departed this life the 5th August 1790 in the 69th year of her age. Also the body of the said James WHITEHEAD who departed this life the 13th September 1794 in the 77th year of his age. Also Henry WHITEHEAD, his son who departed this life 10th February 1824 in the 68th year of his age. Also Ann, daughter of James WHITEHEAD who departed this life 1st September 1830 in the 85th year of her age. Ann would have been born after the 1st September 1745 and Henry after the 10th February 1756. The IGI has the marriage of a James WHITEHEAD and Alice BATTERSBY on the 5th February 1743 at Bury St. Mary. This is the only likely record in Lancashire between 1730 and 1750. Mike Berrell (M&LFHS) has checked the film of the original PR in MCL but unfortunately the occupation of James is not given. James WHITEHEAD and Alice BATTERSBY were married on the 5th February 1743/44 at St. Mary, Bury (OPC) James WHITEHEAD would have been born after the 13th September 1717 and Alice BATTERSBY after the 5th August 1721. The only possible entry on the IGI for James WHITEHEAD, the son of Thomas WHITEHEAD baptised on the 27th October 1717 at Manchester (a submission by a member of the LDS) and Alice BATTERSBIE, daughter of Thomas BATTERSBIE born on the 22nd October 1721 and baptised on the 25th October 1721 at Bury St. Mary.
