Silks, Shawls and Other Stuff: Norwich and the Textiles Trade
Norfolk Heritage Centre, Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library, The Forum, Millennium Plain, Norwich, Norfolk, NR2 1TF
While the middle of the 18th century saw Norwich widely acknowledged as the country’s pre-eminent centre for textiles manufacture, less than a century later the industry in the city was set on a course of terminal decline. Join us to view a special selection of items from our collections, including photographs, maps, prints and more, that explores the development of this story and the many routes, networks and connections involved. This is a drop-in event.
