South Korean documentary team films in Burnley mill

TV audiences in South Korea will have the chance to learn about Lancashire's industrial past after a film crew visited Queen Street Mill Textile Museum (QSM) in Burnley.

The mill was chosen to showcase the importance of 'King Cotton' and will feature in the four-part series highlighting how goods, including cotton, influenced world trade. Other goods covered in the series include tea, sugar and black pepper.

Sarah Taylor, Lancashire County Council's museum manager at QSM, said:" The documentary producers were really keen to film a Lancashire loom working to give viewers a feel of a time when QSM was a thriving cotton-weaving mill and cotton was an important commodity around the world.
