Having worked at Crosland and Pickstone in the 1970's for a couple of years I dont know the names of these ladies from Crosland and Pickstone (does the middle one have ricketts?) but I do know where it was taken
It is the dispatch area and these ladies would have wrapped the cloth that had been dyed and then finished by the company and would have been sent back by transport to the customers who would have been other complanies mostly in the north of England.
The dispatch area was one of the few areas women worked in the comapny though in the 1970's they also worked in the laboratory testing the strength of the cloth for example
