So all this week have been running stories about how the in the north west of England benefited from .
My grandma worked in the cotton mills in and she raised me and my brother from infants off her pension from that job. I'd always thought slavery didn't have anything to do with my family or my town. Its shocking to realise how far reaching it was and that my family benefited from it too 🙁
