In Norse mythology a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose those who may die in battle and those who may live. Selecting half of those who die in battle, the valkyries bring their chosen to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin whilst the other half go to the goddess Freyja's afterlife field, Fólkvangr. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens and sometimes connected to swans or horses.

A metal sculpture of a young Lancashire Mill-worker entitled "Millie", situated outside the railway station in Colne, North-West England. During the 18th, 19th and early-20th Centuries the textile industry (mostly weaving) provided employment for the majority of people in this part of the country but the industry has been steadily declining for many years and is now almost extinct. Most of the larger textile companies have relocated to the developing countries of the far-East where labour is cheap, profits are high and health & safety at work is "less of an issue".
