It quite fascinates me how language changes.

Both shoddy and mungo are fibrous materials generated from waste fabric - particularly tightly woven cloths and rags.

The shoddy and mungo industry was centred in Batley - Morley - Ossett - and Dewsbury - where this mill conversion shot was taken - whilst sat in car.

Shoddy now tends to mean bad or careless workmanship - a bit like some of the shots I take:)
