Themes discussed include the organization of the \"domestic\" industry until the mid-18th century; the development of the factory from the late 18th century; fluctuations in trade; and, finally, competition from Yorkshire. Where did Gloucestershire's cloth go? To markets all over the world: to Hudson's Bay, to India, besides Europe; to clothe the British Army, as well as speciality cloth for coronations and the Pope's robes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Tann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0752462156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780752462158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Jennifer Tann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443653816575,"sku":"9780752462158","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a02e3638-4fd6-4192-898a-05fda886b146.jpg?v=1777206909","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wool-water-jennifer-tann-9780752462158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
