That fabric used to be made in Greater Manchester. The company ABC was originally A Brunnschweiler & Co which became part of Tootal. Their offices were in Manchester city centre & the mill was in Hyde. Around 30 years ago, through my job I was fortunate to visit both premises. At the mill & I saw the batik & screen printing in process & in the city centre offices there was a retail outlet.
