Francisfactory.jpg1228 viewsThis is the Littlewood Factory I've not seen any other place. It came from Nelia Sexton's collection and a couple of the ladies working there were Sexton's. I am not able to identify which of the people were Sextons but will keep searching my notes. Maybe others can help. Courtesy of Lonnie Jones lonnie0809@skybest.com
