  It changed its name to Sidlaw Industries Ltd in 1971 and to Sidlaw Group plc in 1981. Over the years the company moved away from jute into other interests. As of 2020 the company is still registered as active and is based in Bristol.

  The date of this photograph is uncertain. It was at some point catalogued as pre-1885, but it is unclear where that date came from. A note on one copy of the photograph gives the date as c 1910. However it seems likely that the former date is correct as it has been pointed out the image would seem to predate the expansion of the spinning mill in 1885.
