Description:Silk throwing came to Newcastle in the early nineteenth century. At one time about one hundred people worked in the industry in Newcastle, however by the late 1860s only one silk throwster remained in the district. The Brampton Silk Mill was owned by Bridgett & Co and is here pictured before alterations took place to convert the building into Photopia.
