EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back in time to the early 1900s in the heart of Galashiels, Scotland, where R & A Sanderson & Co's Gala Mills were located. The image showcases the grandeur and industrial prowess of the Scotch Tweed industry during the Edwardian era. Established in 1838, R & A Sanderson & Co was a prominent name in the Scottish textile industry, renowned for its high-quality Scotch Tweeds. This photograph, taken in 1905, captures the Gala Mills in all its glory, with its imposing red-brick facade and tall chimneys billowing smoke. The mill's large windows allow a glimpse into the bustling activity within, where skilled workers would have been weaving intricate tweed patterns on traditional looms.

The image exudes a sense of pride and achievement, reflecting the importance of the textile industry in Scotland during this period. This photograph serves as a fascinating souvenir of a bygone era, providing a glimpse into the rich history of Scottish industry and the people who played a significant role in shaping it. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of R & A Sanderson & Co and the Scotch Tweed industry in Galashiels and beyond.
