A splendid table cloth, representing a portion of
the railway, with carriages, &c., is now in the loom
at Touge, near Middleton.
The drawing is almost
as accurate as if penciled ; the colours are extremely
brilliant and distinct, and the portion already executed presents a panoramic view of the scene.
The
jacquard with which it is being woven, the design,
and the workmanship are all executed by Lancashire artisans.
