The links from this page should take you to the family names I'm researching. There you will find a list of family members with that name in chronological order. Links from there will take you to info I hold on that family mamber. In sddition I hope to create a further section on the Geill family and their involvement in Calico printing.

Early Days. Have an idea of what I want but working on the blog layout & design to try to make the pages look consistent:-)

Bannister Hall was a famous calico print works. Their products were considered quality items as you can read in the articles. I've tried to collect some photo examples of their work – dated if possible.
The mill had various owner partnerships. These included the famous Preston mill owner Swainson.

My aim here is to try to create a partial timeline based on the limited information I have. I will add info as and when I find it.

There are links to other blogs and websites with collections of Bannister Hall prints at the foot of this page
